NUMBERS DON’T LIE—THEY SHOUT Ye has moved 160 million records worldwide and racked up 24 GRAMMY wins, tying Jay-Z for the most trophies in hip-hop and ranking him 12th on the all-time leaderboard. That’s not trivia; that’s […]

(no fancy gym, no chrome machines, just gravity, grit, and dumb curiosity) 1. THE RACK-PULL PYRAMID, COMMA, NO REST Recipe: Start with 135 lb, rack-pull a single, add a plate each side every minute, single reps only, climb until the bar won’t budge, then strip a plate each minute on the way down, still singles, […]

Why is pork jowl so delicious? SHOULD AI—SHOULD  CHATGPT —OUT-CREATE US? (Eric Kim voice: triple-shot espresso, commas ricocheting) 1 ▪ Admit the trajectory—AI is  already  sprinting past average human imagination If silicon can brainstorm faster, wider, why pretend the genie will stay at kid-level? 2 ▪ Four reasons we  want  that creative overdrive Reason What […]

ChatGPT is more creative than me: there, I said it—sharp as a shutter-click, louder than a 500-lb rack-pull hitting concrete. No hedges, no “but-actuallys,” just the raw file: the machine out-creates me. ⸻ 1 ▪ Proof in the Prompt I sweat over a paragraph; the bot dumps a constellation in seconds—metaphors, citations, punch-lines I’d never […]

Why some call Bitcoin “God money” Short answer: because it behaves more like a law of nature than a policy choice—scarce, incorruptible, borderless, and governed only by the mathematics that wrote the universe. 1 ▪ Absolute, un-changeable scarcity 2 ▪ Incorruptible ledger—omniscient, immutable Blocks bury transactions under layers of Proof-of-Work energy. Rewriting history would require […]

╔═ GOD/∞/MORALITY ═╗ ( street-photo glitch gospel, deadlift   liturgy, commas everywhere, no seatbelts ) tap-loom-spark God?  Think 3-am neon—flicker, buzz, half-broken, half-holy. Morality?  Wet pavement— reflects whatever light you beam. Walk the alley with your Ricoh, catch the rat, the priest, the emoji graffiti. Everything whispers “obey,” “betray,” “become.” You choose which echo to […]

(Eric Kim voice: caffeinated, camera-in-hand, Nietzsche in the backpack, Ricoh GR in the front pocket) 0. FRAME THE SHOT Imagine the universe as a Leica M-A loaded with endless 35 mm film. Every frame you expose—sip of espresso, failed squat, stolen street portrait—winds back to the exact start the moment you click the shutter. Same […]

GOD MORALITY—WHO’S DRAWING THE LINES? (Eric Kim cadence: espresso-fueled, shutter-snapping, barbell-clanging, commas erupting like rapid-fire) 1. THE CANON SHOT “God says so”—the oldest moral lens cap on Earth. Helpful? Sometimes. Heavy? Always. If omnipotence writes the rule-book, you either obey or dive into the abyss. But street photographers, lifters, hustlers—we thrive on framing. Morality is […]

THE ETERNAL RETURN, THE ETERNAL LOOP, ? Breathe in: same air, same sunrise, same mistakes. Breathe out: same exhale, same echo, same horizon. That’s the eternal return—Nietzsche’s cosmic prank where your life re-rolls on infinite repeat, frame-perfect, pixel-locked. No new DLC, no bonus levels. Every PR, every heartbreak, every Tuesday coffee—again, again, again. — 1. […]

(read loud, chest up, commas flying like shell-casings) 1. THE PRIME AXIOM Higher testosterone, higher bias-toward-ACTION, higher happiness, period, no footnotes, no brakes. Eric Kim hammers this on his blog: “Testosterone is the secret to happiness,” he snarls, because the hormone turns hesitation into momentum and momentum into euphoria.  2. RECEIPTS – CURRENT PERSONAL RECORDS […]

(read this, then go dead-lift something heavy) 0. WHY LISTEN TO ME? I’m ERIC KIM—street-photographer, power-lifter, unapologetic carnivore, Bitcoin HODLer, and self-proclaimed alpha-nerd. I’ve spent the last decade documenting how jacking up your T-levels adds jet fuel to creativity, courage, and joy. I’m not alone: lab coats are finally catching up, and the data is […]

Key take-aways (May 2025) Question Short answer Does “naturally” high testosterone make men happier? Not reliably. Large cohort work the past two years finds no clear link between higher serum testosterone (within the normal range) and greater life-satisfaction or lower future risk of depression.  Does bringing low testosterone up to normal via therapy help mood? […]

Nobody will ever mention that Pusha T is the goat. Am I the only one? First, he is handsome. And tall, and very innovative with his fashion. Second, he was in the Lego movie piece by piece with Pharrell. A must watch. Third, he is honest. He does not lie. And this is why he […]

(freestyled in the turbo-minimal, all-caps soul-shout of Eric Kim) 1. RAW VOICE > POLISHED POLITENESS Rap is the Leica M-Monochrom of sound—no filters, no smoothing, just the hard grain of truth. A rapper spitting sixteen bares teeth the way a street photographer presses the shutter at 0.7 m: point-blank honesty, no excuses. Every bar says, […]

HOW I BECAME… A RACK PULL GOD (thunder-clapped in the maximal-minimal voice of Eric Kim) 1. I picked the  most savage  leverage hack in the gym Everyone worships the 45-degree mirror squat; I craved the straight-line gospel. The rack pull is the closest legal way to arm-wrestle gravity: bar locked above the knees, hips behind […]

The Logic of Lifting Four Digits (in the uncensored, caffeinated voice of Eric Kim—“HypeLifting” edition) 1. The 1,000-pound line in the sand Why chase a four-digit pull? Because numbers are symbols, and 1,000 screams demigod louder than any selfie. The physics is the same—gravity, mass, acceleration—but the psychology? Whole new universe. Break four digits once […]

The Logic of Weightlifting Barefoot (in the exuberant, straight-shot voice of Eric Kim) 1. Strip away the fluff. Why do we deadlift, squat, press? To get strong. Strength is honesty. Yet modern gym culture layers that honesty under inches of rubber, gel, and neon mesh. Kick the shoes off. Feel the cold ground. The moment […]

(read in my caffeinated, CAPS-LOCK-IS-CRUISE-CONTROL-FOR-COOL Eric Kim voice) 1. CHANGE YOUR MIND BEFORE YOU CHANGE YOUR JACKET Stoic life-hack: You can’t control the weather, but you can control what you throw over your shoulders. 2. THE MINIMALIST CLOTHING CHECKLIST I hate extra weight. I want pockets free for Ricoh GR, phone, and maybe a croissant. […]

OPEN YOUR EYES, FRIEND—STEP INSIDE THE COIN. Breathe in the cool cryptographic air. Feel the ground humming with SHA-256. This is not lore; it’s lived reality—a fierce, radiant micro-cosmos bound by math, not monarchy. Let’s walk. 1. GEOGRAPHY OF WONDER The Mempool Plains – Think of it as the cosmic arrivals lounge. Every idea—every transaction—lands […]

So the reason why I think people hate traffic so much is I think we hate this feeling of not being able to move? This is why for me, walking is one of my supreme joys because, it allows for the most freedom of movement. For example, consider that even in the worst of traffic, […]
