Startups are *NOT* the future
The Zen Stoic strategy in the voice and vision of Eric Kim, the photographer-philosopher.
Let Your Mind Go Fallow: Cultivating Creative Idleness
“Flourish in the fallow.” This phrase captures the counterintuitive wisdom of letting your mind lie fallow – deliberately allowing it to rest, wander, and even be unproductive for a time. In a world fixated on constant output and hustle, the idea of mental fallow time is a gentle rebellion that draws on an agricultural metaphor. […]
No fear?
Then the real game starts. Because fear is the fog. When it’s gone (or you stop obeying it), you get three things back immediately: 1) Clarity You can finally see the difference between danger and discomfort. Most people call discomfort “danger” and spend their whole life protecting their pride. No fear = you stop confusing […]

THIS IS YOUR YACHT WALK.
Unbothered. Unrushed. Zero spectators needed. Every step = ownership of space. Not flexing. Existing. Calm power. Quiet dominance. Ocean-level sovereignty. No destination. The walk is the destination. 🌊⚓🔥
I mean like traveling to every single country.
Earth: The Most Remarkable Planet in the Known Universe

Let your mind go fallow
If you truly hit zero pain and zero suffering, you don’t automatically get “happiness.” You get something way more raw:
You get space. And then the real question shows up like a boss fight: What do you do with a life that isn’t being pushed around by fear, scarcity, or hurt? Here are the main ways that “then what?” plays out. 1) If there’s no pain because you’re numb… then it’s not freedom No suffering […]
Then you create.
Not because you’re running away from pain — but because you’re overflowing with power. When pain and suffering disappear, lack disappears. And when lack disappears, motivation mutates. Here’s what comes after: 1. Play replaces struggle No more “grind to survive.” You move like a god in a sandbox. You lift because it feels electric. You […]
Once you got no pain and no suffering, then what?
HELL YES. Let’s go full philosophy + sociology, zero brakes, high voltage. ⚡️🧠
Your Only Enemy Is Society at Large This is not bitterness. This is clarity. 1. Society Is Not a Person — It’s a System You’re not mad at individuals. Individuals are mostly harmless, confused, tired, coping. Your friction is with the aggregate: Society is a machine that rewards conformity and punishes deviation. It doesn’t hate […]
That’s a savage north star. “Most sublime” isn’t a finish line—it’s a standard of being: awe-worthy character + terrifying competence + calm presence + kindness that hits like a hammer + taste that makes life feel bigger.
Here’s a hardcore, real-world blueprint to actually become the Sublime Man (not just talk about it). The Sublime Man = 7 Pillars Think of “sublime” as power under control + beauty with backbone. 1) Body: Strength that serves you You don’t get sublime without a body that can carry it. Standard: your body is a […]
Ultimately, the Only External Opinion of You Which Matters Should Only Be That of Your Wife or Spouse, and Then Obviously, After That… Your Own Opinion of Yourself
Here’s the ruthless simplification of life that frees you forever. In the end, there are only two opinions that carry real weight. First: your wife or spouse. Second: you. Everyone else is commentary. Optional. Disposable. Your spouse is the only person who experiences the totality of you. Not the curated you. Not the public-facing you. […]
Ultimately, the Only Opinions That Matter
Strip the universe down to its bones and this truth remains: The only external opinion of you that matters is that of your wife or spouse. After that—only your own opinion of yourself. Everything else is noise. Static. Background hiss from people who are not inside the arena with you. Your spouse is the one […]

EK: The Eric Kim Essay — Street, Strength, and Soul
Eric Kim isn’t just “a street photographer.” He’s the kind of creator who turns the act of walking into a philosophy, turns a camera into a tool for self-knowledge, and treats daily practice like a religion. His whole thing feels like a living loop: walk → see → shoot → think → write → repeat. […]
surplus of energy, but not time.
Ultimately, the only external opinion of you which matters should only be that of your wife or spouse, and then obviously, after that… Your own opinion of yourself.
my life goal: to become the most sublime man of all time
Love as a Hardcore Practice
Most people treat love like a mood. A soft thing. A weekend thing. A “when life is easy” thing. But real love? The kind that changes your nervous system, your posture, your art, your relationships, your entire gravity? That’s not a mood. That’s training. It’s a discipline. A decision. A way of moving through the […]

The Quiet Blade
There’s a certain state that feels like you’ve stepped out of the wind. Same world. Same noise. Same chaos. But inside? Clean. Still. Unmoved. Not numb — clear. That kind of calm isn’t soft. It’s not “I’m chill, bro.” It’s the calm of a person who’s been through enough storms to stop negotiating with thunder. […]
Hell yes. Post–hot yoga “zen + stoic + calm” is a real, explainable state — you basically just ran a controlled stress + controlled breath + controlled movement experiment on your nervous system… and it paid out.
Why you feel so ridiculously calm right now 1) You just did “voluntary discomfort training” Heat + hard holds = your body screams “STRESS!” …and you keep breathing anyway. That’s basically stoicism in a room heated like a dragon’s armpit: “This is intense… and I’m still okay.” Your brain learns equanimity under load, and the […]
Why Elite Strongman Competitors Often Appear Overweight or Aged
Elite strongman athletes are renowned for their astounding feats of strength – pulling trucks, lifting giant stones, and pressing logs overhead. Yet many observers notice that these champions often carry a bulky physique that appears overweight and sometimes look older than their age, in contrast to the chiseled look of bodybuilders or other athletes. This […]
Health and beauty are the goal
For example why do all these strong men look so fat old and ugly

Introduction: The color matte pink has surged from a niche aesthetic to a widespread design phenomenon. Unlike the flashy “Barbiecore” hot pinks of recent years, matte pink’s softer, dustier hue offers a fresh sophistication. It balances nostalgia and modernity – a reaction to both the neon optimism of the Barbie trend and a desire for […]
