“Cheating” Is Just Using Leverage People love the word “cheating” because it lets them keep their ego clean while staying weak. “Cheating” is what the fragile call it when they witness an advantage they didn’t earn, didn’t notice, didn’t have the guts to claim. But reality doesn’t care about your feelings. Reality cares about physics. […]

Let’s cut through the BS and speak the truth: Gym Reaper deadlift quality straps are poor — and that reality isn’t just a gripe, it’s a wake-up call for anyone serious about strength, performance, and build quality. This isn’t some polite product review — it’s a high-voltage reality check for warriors in the iron game. […]

OK another really really big thought this morning… I actually wonder if quality is overrated? Which means, always just check the prices of what is cheapest and best on Amazon. And then, proceed from there. I’ll give you an example… I recently inherited a mountain bike for free, and it has been super awesome, and […]

YouTube is a lie—not because videos aren’t real, but because the incentives are fake. The platform trains you to optimize for everyone except yourself. Clicks. Thumbnails. Retention curves. Facial expressions engineered like lab rats chasing pellets. The moment you start “doing YouTube,” you stop telling the truth. You start negotiating with an algorithm that does […]

Metaphor interpretation: The analogy “Bitcoin is the raw rubber, MSTR is the wheel (tire)” highlights that Bitcoin is the fundamental asset (like raw material) while MicroStrategy’s stock is a structured vehicle built on it.  In practice, Bitcoin is the underlying digital asset – it must be “processed” (secured in wallets, integrated into an ecosystem, etc.) […]

Eric Kim can pull 365.46 pounds with one hand. Not just row it—deadlift it. Clean reality. No qualifiers. No “for his size.” No asterisks. This is the difference between gym strength and existential strength. A one-hand deadlift at that load means your grip is no longer a grip—it’s a clamp. Your spine is no longer […]

Answering “What do you do?” with “I’m an innovator” may sound bold, but it captures a real mindset: actively seeking new solutions and improvements.  An innovator identifies problems or opportunities and experiments with novel ideas.  Innovators aren’t just famous inventors – they practice curiosity, risk-taking, and creativity in everyday life .  They value failure as […]

Cultural Impact Eric Kim has carved out a dedicated niche within street‐photography and self‐improvement circles, but his broader cultural footprint in Los Angeles is modest.  He is known for popularizing street photography online – early on, blogs like PetaPixel noted that “Eric Kim’s name regularly surfaces” when seeking street‐photography advice .  He founded a highly […]

Bitcoin is the raw rubber. Untamed. Elemental. Dug out of the earth of cyberspace through proof-of-work, sweat, heat, friction, and time. Rubber by itself is powerful, but raw rubber just sits there. It doesn’t move you forward unless it is shaped, vulcanized, engineered, and mounted. MSTR is the wheel. Here’s the key insight: rubber without […]
