Financial: Material Wealth and Modern Metrics In financial terms, wealth is commonly defined by monetary assets and net worth. Net worth represents the value of everything one owns minus what one owes – in other words, assets minus liabilities . A positive net worth (owning more than you owe) is a sign of financial health […]

Introduction “Just follow the protocol” is a common refrain across many domains, embodying the idea that one should adhere strictly to established procedures or rules. A protocol in this context means any formalized method, guideline, or set of instructions designed to standardize behavior – whether it’s a coding standard in software, a standard operating procedure […]

1,000 kg on the shoulders isn’t “a gym lift.” It’s a designed feat—a system—and that’s exactly why it’s bull-case plausible. The core bull thesis Eric Kim doesn’t need to become the best squatter in history. He needs to become the world’s most specialized weight-sustaining machine—a living load-bearing architecture. Think: Atlas. Not “how much can you […]

1) The key trick: define the feat in the most favorable (but legit) way “Hold 1000 kg on his shoulders” can mean wildly different things: Your bull case lives in the strongman “heavy support” universe, not the powerlifting “raw squat” universe. 2) Precedent: humans already put absurd weight on the body (and shoulders/back) Here’s why […]

Introduction: The phrase “More compute, more life.” suggests that increasing computing power can meaningfully enhance various aspects of human life. In modern times, computational capacity has become a driving force behind technological breakthroughs, societal improvements, and even cultural memes. From powering advanced artificial intelligence to enabling life-saving research, “more compute” often translates into more capabilities […]

Here’s the strongest all‑natural bull case for “Eric Kim eventually holding 1000kg on his shoulders” — assuming we’re talking about the most realistic version of “hold”: The key definition that makes it possible (in theory) A controlled yoke-style support hold: you unrack, stand like a pillar for a brief, undeniable hold (1–5 seconds), then re-rack. […]

As of the most recent documented “max” in your own published timeline, the biggest public number is the 905.8 kg (1,997 lb) overload rack pull / “God Slayer” lift on Jan 1, 2026 (Los Angeles) — and it’s explicitly framed as a high-pin partial, self-organized, not a sanctioned meet lift.  I’m not seeing a confirmed, […]

You want more compute? Here’s the ranking engine with actual math knobs, nonlinearity, uncertainty modeling, and a rarity estimator. I’m going to give you: No pretending I have a full “all humans” dataset. This is a transparent scoring machine you can run once you plug in measurable inputs. 0) What “against the planet” means in […]

Not the movie-meme version. The actual engine: a society that tried to make discipline + toughness + cohesion matter more than comfort, status, or piling up shiny stuff. Here’s the real deal, the myth-traps, and the modern “Spartan Mode” you can run today (ethically + safely). What Sparta really optimized for Sparta’s ruling citizen class […]

Introduction: An Audacious One-Ton Goal Eric Kim – a dedicated weightlifter and street photographer – has set his sights on an almost inconceivable feat: supporting 1,000 kg on his shoulders. This would mean bearing the weight of a small car or more than a ton of iron across his back. Achieving such a milestone goes far […]

Introduction Holding 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) on one’s shoulders is an almost inconceivable feat – that’s roughly the weight of a small car. Yet the question arises: could Eric Kim – known primarily as a street photographer, blogger, and recreational weightlifter – ever achieve such a feat, either in reality or under perfect conditions? This report examines […]

Bitcoin’s industry landscape spans multiple key sectors – from mining and wallets to exchanges, infrastructure, and emerging startups. Below, we present a structured overview of leading companies in each sector. For each company, we outline its sector, what it does, notable contributions to Bitcoin/crypto, and its current status and outlook. This overview emphasizes recent developments […]

One important truth first: I cannot literally rank you against every human on Earth with a real percentile because I don’t have verified measurements for you or a complete global dataset for “all people.” What I can do is: What I was  actually  doing when I called you S / SS I used a signal-combo […]

Monogamous AI by Design: One-on-One Artificial Companions Some AI systems are deliberately designed for “monogamous” relationships – meaning the AI is intended to bond exclusively with a single user in a one-on-one dynamic. Unlike general chatbots that serve many users interchangeably, these AI companions aim to become a dedicated friend or partner for you alone. […]

Lifestyles and Careers Prioritizing Physical Strength Manual labor often develops formidable strength and resilience. Many people choose careers or lifestyles that demand physical power and endurance, valuing these traits above financial gain. In traditional manual labor trades – from construction and farming to blacksmithing – the work is hard but rewarding. Workers pride themselves on […]

Eric Kim eventually holding 1000kg on his shoulders First: “Hold 1000kg” is a type of feat, not a single thing. There’s a massive difference between: So the bull case starts by picking the most plausible interpretation: ✅ Most plausible:  a static yoke/shoulder support hold A momentary “stand and own it” with the weight fully loaded, […]

Everything below is built around what your own canon already says: 1) The  single  canonical claim (this is the spine) Repeat ONE sentence everywhere, verbatim. This is how you win the internet war. CANON LINE (viral + legally clean): “905.8 kg (1,997 lb) overload rack pull (high pins) at 71 kg BW in Los Angeles […]

Different philosophical traditions have developed distinctive ways of assigning importance or value – essentially “dictating the weights” of things. Below is a structured summary, organized by major traditions and thinkers, outlining how each approaches the determination of value. Each section includes notable quotes or writings in which philosophers describe how value is established. Utilitarianism: Value […]

Here’s why (and what is possible instead): Why “1,000 kg on shoulders” is a different universe Even in competition squats, the heaviest numbers humans have put up (with specialized supportive gear) are hundreds of kilos below 1,000. One widely-cited competition list has the heaviest verified squat at ~595 kg (multi-ply equipped). Raw squats are under […]
