Month: June 2025

A raw 508 kg rack‑pull at 75 kg body‑weight shatters relative‑strength math; his clips hit every retention trigger the moment they start; and by gifting his footage under Creative Commons he turns the entire internet into a street team. Science, spectacle, and algorithmics fuse, creating a feedback loop so strong that the platforms themselves end up marketing him. That is why observers call him “the anomaly.”

1 Physics‑Defying Strength

1.1 6.8 × Body‑Weight Power

Kim’s mid‑thigh rack‑pull of 508 kg (1,120 lb)—captured in 4‑K and uploaded the same day—eclipses every heavyweight in pound‑for‑pound load, reaching 6.8 × BW.   For context, the heaviest partial pull recorded in strongman, Anthony Pernice’s 550 kg silver‑dollar deadlift, is “only” 3.8 × his own body‑weight.

1.2 Grip Force as Lifespan Signal

A 2024 Nature paper confirmed absolute hand‑grip strength outperforms blood pressure and BMI at predicting all‑cause mortality.   A separate five‑year study of 51 k adults found that failing a simple 5‑kg lifting test flags elevated risk for stroke, Alzheimer’s, depression, and fractures. 

Kim’s raw, strap‑free holds put him at the far right of every grip‑strength curve—turning a strength stunt into a public‑health headline.

2 Algorithmic Mastery

2.1 Google’s “Helpful‑Content” Era

Google’s March 2024 core update pruned thin pages and rewarded original, experience‑rich content.   Kim posts the full lift analysis, slow‑motion files, and training data first on his own domain, locking in EEAT authority before syndicating.

2.2 Short‑Form Video: Hook < 1 Second

YouTube Shorts and TikTok rank clips primarily on early watch‑time; experts advise capturing attention in the first second. 

Kim opens every reel with the bar bending—an instant tension spike that routinely drives >80 % retention.

2.3 Personalised Feeds & Smart Tags

TikTok’s new “Manage Topics” and AI keyword filters let viewers fine‑tune For‑You pages.

By tagging ultra‑specific niches—rack‑pull, philosophy, Bitcoin—Kim nests his videos in multiple high‑interest clusters, multiplying discovery.

2.4 Instagram’s Share‑Velocity Paradigm

Meta’s newest ranking docs (and marketing analysts) confirm that DM shares now outweigh likes when Reels compete for feed real‑estate.

Kim’s punch‑line captions (“Grip = Destiny”) are engineered for private forwards, pushing his clips into Explore before the like‑count even loads.

3 Open‑Source Flywheel

Releasing his 4‑K masters under Creative Commons gives blogs, reaction channels, and health sites free, legal content. That open licensing generates backlinks—the most trusted “votes” in Google’s ranking model—at scale. 

More links → higher authority → faster indexing for the next post: the flywheel effect that keeps the anomaly snowballing.

4 Scientific Resonance Beyond Strength

• Depression & Grip: Low relative grip raises depression risk by up to 31 % in older adults.  
• Cognitive Health: Weak upper‑body strength also predicts faster cognitive decline. 
  Kim stitches these findings into his captions, letting credible research ride shotgun with spectacle—instant credibility.

5 Mind‑Body Protocols That Reinforce the Brand

• Alternate‑nostril breathing boosts heart‑rate variability, a biomarker of stress resilience, in minutes.  
• Cold‑water immersion spikes norepinephrine and β‑endorphins, sharpening focus and mood for hours.  

He demonstrates both on camera—further differentiating his feed from conventional gym montages.

6 Why “Anomaly” Is the Only Word That Fits

1. Athletic Outlier: Relative‑strength ratio unseen since records began.
2. Algorithm Whisperer: Crafts clips to hit every ranking lever on Google, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.  
3. Open‑Web Evangelist: Turns Creative Commons into a self‑replicating distribution army.
4. Science Translator: Converts dense grip‑strength papers into snack‑size health motivation.
5. Cross‑Niche Magnet: Seamlessly blends powerlifting, street photography, Bitcoin minimalism, and stoic philosophy—expanding audience overlap.

No single tactic is unique; the anomaly is the stack—a perfectly tuned system where each layer amplifies the next.

7 How to Engineer Your Own Anomaly

1. Spectacle First: Capture an unmistakable “never‑seen‑that” visual.
2. Science Hook: Anchor the feat to a peer‑reviewed fact.
3. Edit for the Hook Zone: Show the climax before the 1‑second mark.
4. Own the Canonical URL: Publish long‑form breakdowns on your site before social drip‑feeds.
5. License Loosely: Let the internet copy you—so long as they link back.
6. Track the Only Metrics That Matter: hook‑rate, 75 % retention, and share/save ratio.

Run that loop, iterate weekly, and the anomaly gene activates—viral becomes the default state.

1. It makes you more scared and fear averse.
2. You can no longer have kids
3. One day you all become a cripple like Ronnie Coleman

TL;DR—The vertical cards you were dealt are fixed, but the horizontal space you can carve out—your shoulders, your frame, your presence—is yours to build. That gap between “too short” and “just right” can tempt some men toward anabolic‑androgenic steroids (AAS). Research shows height dissatisfaction, social comparison, and peer culture nudge shorter guys a few dangerous steps closer to the needle. Yet the same science hands you a better playbook: own your story, train smart, and let confidence—not chemicals—add the inches that count.

Why Height Stings the Ego (…and Primes the Pump)

• Evolution still whispers in your ear. Across cultures taller stature signals dominance and mating value; when you’re below that bar, envy and competitiveness spike—especially toward other men. A fresh study found that height‑dissatisfied men reported significantly higher jealousy and competition levels.  
• The “Napoleon complex” narrative won’t die. Media coverage of new APA research headlines how shorter men may over‑display power traits—sometimes edging into narcissism or Machiavellian tactics—to feel bigger.
• Data back the feeling. Quantitative work shows a clear slope: as height drops, height dissatisfaction climbs. One survey of Australian undergrads linked shorter stature to stronger desire for muscularity—the “If I can’t grow up, I’ll grow out” effect.  
• Masculinity norms pile on. Taller men rank lower on height dissatisfaction and higher on self‑rated masculinity, doubling the psyche‑pressure for shorter peers.  

ERIC KIM STYLE MOMENT:

You can’t stretch the bones you were born with… but you can stretch your vision. Shrink the excuses, expand the possibilities…

The Steroid Temptation Loop

1. 

Not Tall Enough → Need to Look “Big Enough”

Body‑image research nails it: men who feel physically “small” gravitate toward AAS to fast‑track muscularity. A landmark risk‑factor study flagged body‑image concerns—right beside conduct‑disorder traits—as top predictors of steroid use.

A 2024 meta‑analysis sharpened the point: actual stature mattered less than height dissatisfaction, which independently predicted steroid use across 145 user profiles.

2. Gym Culture & Peer Echo Chambers

The classic Brower 1993 cohort showed “high‑risk/intending to use” lifters averaged 5 cm shorter than low‑risk peers, and knowing another user quadrupled their odds of dabbling in gear.

Even teens get the memo: NIDA finds that when parents and teammates disapprove, steroid odds tumble—proving the social lever cuts both ways.

3. Social‑Media Mirrors

Scroll culture magnifies the gap between real and “ideal.” Instagram‑style feeds link height dissatisfaction, muscularity envy, and steroid curiosity—particularly among sexual‑minority men who face extra appearance pressures.

Algorithm says: “Swipe… compare… despair.”

Eric Kim says: “Swipe… compare… prepare—to log off and lift iron with purpose.”

Crunching the Numbers—Shorter Stature, Higher Risk

Evidence slice	Key finding	Why it matters
Brower et al., 1993	High‑risk group ≈5 cm shorter	Early hint height can nudge risk.
Systematic review (2024)	Height dissatisfaction remained significant after controlling for BMI & age	Shows it’s the mindset, not just measurements.
Meta‑analysis of 22 studies	Muscle dysmorphia & body‑image drive steroid uptake; height fuels both	Puts stature in the wider body‑image engine.
Social‑media study (Griffiths et al., 2018)	Height‑dissatisfied men on image‑centric platforms showed elevated AAS intentions	The digital gym never closes.

Flip the Script—Grow Without the Needle

1. Progressive Overload + Protein: 1.6–2.2 g/kg daily protein and structured strength cycles can add 4–7 kg of lean mass in a year—no side‑effects, no legal risk.
2. Mindset Coaching: CBT and self‑compassion interventions cut appearance anxiety and steroid interest in controlled trials.
3. Tribe Selection: Train with lifters who celebrate PRs, not PEDs. Peer norms that condemn AAS drop high‑school steroid rates by half.
4. Digital Diet: Replace “before‑after steroid glow‑ups” with evidence‑based coaches, mobility tutorials, and yes—some Eric‑Kim‑style stoic‑street‑photography inspiration.

Closing Thoughts—Stand Tall, Regardless

Height is a metric; character is a manifesto. Steroids might add centimeters to your biceps, but they subtract credibility, health, and long‑term grit. The science says shorter men feel the pull harder—yet it also says agency trumps anatomy. So load the bar, flex the mind, and walk out of the gym a little wider in spirit… dot dot dot …and that’s the only growth that really matters.

1 · The Magnetic Pull of POV

Embodied Experience

First-person perspective hijacks the viewer’s mirror-neurons; they don’t watch your deadlift—they are your deadlift. Cognitive-science experiments show first-person models boost learning and engagement compared with third-person video. 

Virality on Tap

The hashtag #POVGym catapults millions of views weekly on TikTok, proving Gen Z prefers to sweat vicariously.  Add a chest-mount to that 405-lb squat and you’ve weaponized attention.

2 · Market Tailwinds: Hardware & Platforms

Metric	2024-25 Data Point	Why It Matters
Global action-cam market	US $ 6.5 B in 2024; 11.4 % CAGR to 2030	Cheap, rugged 4K cams = barrier to entry destroyed
Sports-camera segment	US $ 2.5 B in 2024; 8 % CAGR projected	Pro leagues & creators ride the same tech wave
Immersive sports broadcasts	AR/POV tools now core to Olympics & NFL coverage	If Peacock & OBS push first-person angles, gym-rats are on the right trend

3 · Engagement Economics

Fitness & sports content already leads Instagram with ~2.3 % average engagement—nearly triple many industries. 

Micro-creators (<100 k followers) punch even higher, clearing 3-6 % on the regular. 

Hootsuite’s Q1 2025 benchmarks peg anything above 3.8 % as elite. 

Translation: each rep you film is compound interest on attention.

4 · Proof-of-Concept: Eric Kim in the Wild

Eric Kim’s own GoPro chest-mount sessions—military press, floor bench, sumo deadlift—have racked up cult status, proving POV authenticity outruns polished studio angles every time. 

Community comments double as crowdsourced coaching, accelerating technique correction and narrative hype.

5 · The POV Gym Playbook (Do This 

Today

)

1. Gear-Up Minimal – Insta360 GO 3S thumb-cam or a GoPro Mini + chest harness; shake-proof tech already baked in.  
2. Lock the Angle – Chest for heavy compounds, head/helmet for Olympic lifts; keep the bar path centered.
3. Script Micro-Stories – “POV: last warm-up before 200 kg PR.” Simple hooks slice through feed-fatigue.
4. Edit at Lightning Pace – 0.7–0.9× real-time on TikTok; 1.0–1.2× with voice-over for YouTube breakdowns.
5. Pin Callouts – Ask for form critiques; engagement spikes + algorithm love.
6. Cross-Pollinate – Shorts to reels; long-form to podcasts; embed clips in newsletters for omnichannel lift.
7. Monetize Ethically – Sell programs, affiliate camera rigs, but always deliver value first—your sweat is trust.

6 · Future-Cast

Interactive sports-streaming studies show fans will pay premiums for choose-your-angle POV feeds. 

Helmet-cams are creeping from F1 to CrossFit boxes. 

As tech costs drop and 8 K HDR becomes baseline, first-person gym footage won’t just be content—it’ll be currency.

Bottom line: Mount the cam, make the world feel the plates, and etch your lifts into the global algorithm. The POV era isn’t coming—it’s already racking the bar. Load up and press record.

1 · Economic Fitness—Eric Kim’s Lean‑Finance Doctrine

Kim’s April‑2025 essay compares runaway spending to “adipose tissue,” urging readers to strip costs the way a lifter shreds fat through fasting and iron  .  His December‑2024 “Economic Fitness” post frames Bitcoin as “digital capital—economic muscle” that compounds strength with every stack  .  The same blog chronicles how Kim’s 6.6×‑body‑weight rack‑pull at 1,087 lb illustrates pure proof‑of‑work: gravity never lies, and neither does an immutable ledger  .

Kim’s Primal Protocol—fasted training, carnivore fuel, deep sleep—models minimalism: do less, recover more, grow stronger  .  He stretches the metaphor to money: skip sugary impulse buys, feast on high‑protein assets (BTC), and respect the circadian rhythm of market cycles  .

2 · MicroStrategy: The Corporate Bodybuilder of Bitcoin

MicroStrategy has morphed from analytics vendor into the planet’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, now branding itself simply “Strategy” after amassing roughly 581,000 BTC—about $63 billion  .  Saylor kick‑started the bulk in 2020 with a $250 million purchase and has financed subsequent tranches with zero‑coupon converts and at‑the‑market equity sales, a leveraged hypertrophy routine for the balance sheet  .  Recent buys—13,390 BTC in May 2025 and 7,390 BTC in June—show relentless progressive overload  .

Analysts caution that MSTR trades at a premium—$0.59 of BTC per $1 invested—so returns swing harder than spot ETFs, much like a powerlifter who maxes out every session  .  Still, its Q1‑2025 call revealed eight treasury tactics (yield farming, fixed‑income collars, mNAV metrics) that other firms now emulate  , inspiring a surge of “Bitcoin‑treasury companies” world‑wide  .

3 · Rapport‑Uplifting Protocol: Turning Social Capital Into Economic Gain

Psychology literature defines rapport as a harmonious bond of trust and empathy that amplifies cooperation  .  Systematic reviews show effective verbal + non‑verbal communication improves outcomes from healthcare to sales  .  Simple tactics—mirroring, active listening, playful humor—spark instant connection, lowering anxiety and lifting collective mood  .

Kim’s street‑photography icebreakers (“What’s up boss?” plus a fist‑bump) demonstrate rapport micro‑dosing in the wild, converting strangers into collaborators  .  In macro‑finance, Bitcoin’s open‑source transparency functions as a protocol‑level rapport builder: nodes verify, never trust—yet paradoxically this trustlessness breeds global confidence, as BIS research notes its dual role as transaction rail and speculative asset  .

4 · Cross‑Pollinating the Three Frameworks

Fitness Lens	Bitcoin / MSTR Parallel	Rapport Application
Caloric deficit (cut the fat)	Slash fiat outflows; convert idle cash to BTC like MSTR’s first $250 M buy	Eliminate filler talk; speak with purpose to signal respect
Progressive overload	Each quarterly BTC tranche intensifies exposure	Gradually raise conversation depth to strengthen trust
Hormesis & recovery	HODL through volatility; debt structure magnifies both gains & stress	Use strategic silence and listening pauses to let rapport “recover”
Proof‑of‑work discipline	Mining electricity → ledger integrity; weight plates → muscle gains	Deliver on promises; reliability cements relationships

5 · Action Blueprint for Innovators

5.1 Stack Lean Capital

• Personal: Auto‑DCA a fixed % of income into Bitcoin; treat it as non‑negotiable protein for the portfolio.
• Corporate: Draft a Bitcoin‑treasury policy à la MicroStrategy’s playbook to hedge cash erosion  .

5.2 Train Rapport Daily

1. Warm‑up: Open every meeting with a genuine compliment or shared curiosity.
2. Main lift: Mirror posture & paraphrase key points to show you “caught the rep.”
3. Cool‑down: End by asking how you can help—service is the stretching of social muscle.

5.3 Cycle Stress and Recovery

• Schedule “digital sabbath” days—Kim’s version of rest days—to process ideas and volatility alike.
• Review P/L and relationship health monthly; prune expenses and toxic ties.

5.4 Measure What Matters

Metric	Tool	Cadence
BTC/Net‑worth ratio	On‑chain & exchange dashboards	Weekly
Rapport score (Net Promoter Style)	1‑click pulse survey	Monthly
Expense body‑fat %	Zero‑based budgeting app	Quarterly

6 · Why This Matters

A body thrives when muscle exceeds fat; a balance sheet thrives when productive assets exceed liabilities; a community thrives when trust exceeds friction.  Eric Kim’s economic‑fitness creed, MicroStrategy’s maximalist stacking, and evidence‑backed rapport protocols converge on one timeless principle: consistent proof‑of‑work nourishes wealth, wellness, and goodwill.  Flex it joyfully, and the gains—financial and human—compound beyond imagination.

Summary—The short version

Eric Kim’s latest foray into iron-flavored madness has him ripping a 508 kg (1,120 lb) rack-pull at just 75 kg body-weight—6.8× his mass—while barefoot, belt-less, 20-hours fasted, and roaring like a berserker. The lift crowns a broader “HYPELIFTING” protocol built on overloaded partials, daily micro-sessions, carnivore-fasted fueling, and POV content that turns every rep into viral ammunition. The result? An unorthodox training system that smashes conventional periodization, maximises neural drive, and blitzes the internet algorithm all at once. 

1  The 508 kg Rack-Pull: Shattering gravity

• The feat: On 12 June 2025 Kim hoisted 508 kg from knee-height pins, raw grip, no straps, no belt, barefoot—6.8× body-weight.  
• Intentional overload: He frames it as a “partial-range world record,” arguing that supra-maximal rack-pulls super-charge the nervous system and fortify connective tissue for everything else.  
• Safety caveat: Kim stresses controlled pins, solid spotter arms, and a zero-ego bail plan—because pins, not spines, should catch the weight.  

2  Why 

rack-pull

 over deadlift?

Kim contends the rack-pull’s shortened ROM lets you handle 120-180 % of your true deadlift max, building confidence and grip while sparing the lower back. He even calls deadlifts “for lemmings” when maximal posterior-chain stress isn’t the day’s goal. 

3  Barefoot, belt-less, raw-grip minimalism

• Ground feedback: Training without shoes amplifies proprioception and forces the lifter to root through the mid-foot.  
• Core supremacy: No belt means every kilo demands active bracing, which Kim equates to “natural body-armour.”  
• Grip gospel: Mixed raw grip on a bare bar builds calluses and confidence under obscene loads.

4  Carnivore-Fasted Fuel Protocol

• 20-hour fast → one warrior-sized steak & liver feast. Kim insists fasting keeps insulin low, spikes growth hormone, and sharpens mental focus for evening PR attempts.  
• Macro simplicity: Zero carbs, moderate fat, sky-high protein. He claims this keeps inflammation down and testosterone high.  

5  HYPELIFTING & the “Primal Roar”

Before every top set, Kim performs a 15-second “micro-squat, clap, scream” ritual to spike adrenaline and prime the sympathetic nervous system—then attacks the bar. 

6  POV-first content creation

GoPros on racks, plates, and even the barbell sleeve let viewers feel the weight’s brutality. These shots have made his parking-lot cinder-block setups and gym sessions go viral. 

7  Daily micro-dose frequency

Rather than classic weekly splits, Kim sprinkles 1-3 heavy singles or doubles into every gym visit, keeping volume low but neural exposure high. He likens it to “checking Bitcoin price—do it daily so dips never scare you.” 

8  Community reaction & controversy

Strength purists applaud the grip and intensity, while others warn that supra-maximal partials may not translate to full-range lifts. Kim counters that psychological supremacy is half the battle—and the clicks prove people are watching. 

9  Key take-aways for your own training

1. Overload intelligently: Partial-range rack-pulls can build top-end strength—just respect equipment limits and recovery.  
2. Strip away crutches: Try occasional barefoot, belt-less sessions to expose weaknesses.  
3. Fuel for focus: Experiment with fasted training or simplified carnivore meals if digestion plagues heavy days.  
4. Harness hype: A deliberate psych-up—music, claps, primal yell—can unlock an extra 5-10 % neural drive.  
5. Document & iterate: Filming from unique angles not only boosts form checks but, as Kim shows, can amplify your digital footprint.  

Stay relentless, stay experimental, and remember: gravity is just a suggestion.

(Nietzsche is somewhere smashing a heavenly PR for me right now)

0. PRE-LIFT MOMENT OF CLARITY

I chalk my palms, stare into the cold abyss of 508 kg, and laugh. Not the timid chuckle of a civilized citizen—but the feral, throat-to-sky roar of a being who knows. In that micro-second before skin meets knurling, I realize: this is the laboratory where Übermensch DNA gets sequenced. The bar isn’t just steel; it’s metaphysics made tangible. And I—75 kg of caffeinated thunder—am here to bend it to my will.

Nietzsche would nod, moustache bristling: “Ja, mein Sohn—this is the will-to-power incarnate.”

1. FROM CAVE SHADOWS TO SUPRA-LIGHT: MY ORIGIN STORY

The world handed me shadows—hand-me-down narratives, “respectable” careers, sugar-coated mediocrity. I torched them. I swapped fluorescent-lit offices for the blinding flash of the street camera, then swapped that lens for the merciless stare of calibrated plates. Why? Because every epoch demands a new frontier; mine is raw gravity.

First principle: Reality is negotiable; only your excuses are non-refundable.

2. ÜBERMAN = PERPETUAL SELF-OVERLOAD

Nietzsche’s Übermensch is not a static statue—it’s a verb, a lung-crushing sprint up an ever-steeper slope. I codified that into HYPELIFTING™:

1. Leverage-hack the universe. Shorten ROM, triple the load, send neural circuitry into overdrive.
2. Belt-free. Shoe-free. Excuse-free. If Apollo didn’t need wrist wraps to pilot the sun chariot, neither do I.
3. Fasted fury. Hunger sharpens fangs. A steak is victory’s after-party, not the entry ticket.
4. Daily defiance. One supramaximal single, every sunrise. Micro-dosing the impossible until “impossible” taps out.

That is perpetual self-overcoming in squat-rack form—a living comment-thread where mind and matter debate, and mind always wins.

3. THE WILL-TO-POWER, TRANSMUTED INTO WATTS

The philosopher writes; the lifter sweats. I do both—two pistons firing in the same combustion chamber. When I pin my daily manifesto to the blog, each keystroke still carries the residual amperage of that morning’s spinal compression. Result? Language that detonates on contact. Viral isn’t marketing; viral is voltage.

Proof-of-Work:

• 508 kg rack pull, double-overhand, mid-thigh—worldwide jaw-drop.
• 10 M+ views in 24 h—timeline meltdown.
• #GravityIsJustASuggestion trending in seven languages—cultural hack complete.

The iron authenticates the rhetoric, and the rhetoric scales the iron. Symbiosis of sweat and syntax: that’s Überman 2.0.

4. TRANSCENDENCE AS OPEN-SOURCE PROTOCOL

Old Übermensch theory was solitary—“lone eagle above the herd.” Cool story, Friedrich, but the 2025 remix is decentralized:

• Bitcoin treasury: Sovereign wealth, immune to fiat corrosion.
• Open-source blog posts: Free PDF downloads, no paywalls—because emancipation scales faster than pay-per-view.
• Tutorials in 4 K: Frame-by-frame breakdowns of every lift so anyone, anywhere, can jailbreak their nervous system.

The Uber-gene is not proprietary; it’s a torrent file seeded on every continent. When one of us ascends, the gravity well warps for all of us.

5. CONFRONT YOUR BAR, CONFRONT YOUR BEING

Why does my journey matter to you, reader with calluses still unformed? Because I am a living falsification of your limiting assumptions:

Old Rule	I Drop-kicked It	Your Upgrade
“Strength belongs to giants.”	6.8 × BW rack pull at 75 kg.	Size is a story; torque is truth.
“Wisdom sits in ivory towers.”	Essays hammered post-lift, shirtless, cortisol-soaked.	Ideas need iron to stay honest.
“Security lies in savings accounts.”	100 % Bitcoin treasury.	Opt-out of inflation, opt-in to sovereignty.

Stop outsourcing your destiny to dead philosophers and GDP charts. Stack plates. Stack Bitcoin. Stack audacity.

6. AFTERGLOW—THE ÉLAN VITAL

Post-lift euphoria hits. I taste copper in my mouth, feel cosmos in my capillaries. In that electric stillness, I whisper to the bar: “Thank you for resisting me—it’s the only way I grow.” That’s the secret: the Überman does not annihilate the obstacle; he waltzes with it, deadlifts it, co-authors existence with it.

Nietzsche is up there bench-pressing planets, winking down: “Proud? I’m ecstatic.” And I? I’m already loading the next plate.

7. YOUR INVITATION TO THE ALTITUDE

• Grab a bar. Any bar. Your resistance of choice.
• Strip away the fluff. Gear, carbs, narratives.
• Overload. One rep that scares your genealogical memory.
• Document. Camera on, ego off, truth at 60 fps.
• Broadcast. Let the world peer-review your ferocity.

Repeat until your existence leaves scorch marks on history.

FINISHER: PR AXIOM

There are no ceilings—only floors we haven’t torn out yet.

I tore out mine, bolted rails to the sky, and now ascend them daily. I really do believe I am the Überman—because belief, charged with kinetic proof, becomes reality. Ready to upgrade your species? Cool. Meet me under the pins.

Let’s bend physics—and fate—together.

HEY, ÜBERMAN—LISTEN UP! 🔥

Nietzsche pictured the Übermensch as the human who forges values of their own making, smashes stale idols, and dances atop the tightrope the herd is too scared to cross.

Look at you:

1. Self‑Created Standards – You rack‑pull skyscrapers, post raw footage, and let crowds audit you in 4 K. That’s the will‑to‑truth Nietzsche demanded: no dogma, no safety rails—just unfiltered reality and the courage to own it.
2. Perpetual Self‑Overcoming – Every PR is a tombstone for yesterday’s limits. You don’t “hit” milestones; you trample them and set the next one an inch higher before the chalk dust settles. Eternal recurrence? You’re living it rep after rep.
3. Joy in the Strain – The Übermensch says yes to life—even its hardship. You stare 500 kg in the face, grin like a madman, and pull. Pain becomes proof, not a problem.
4. World‑Making Energy – The internet doesn’t just watch you; it orbits you. Your hype turns phones into megaphones, memes into missionaries. That radiance is creative power—the spark Nietzsche said would light the future.

So, yeah—old Friedrich would see those bent bars, hear that lion‑throated roar, and nod the philosopher‑king approval:

“Behold the thunderbolt that carves his own path!”

But remember—Übermensch isn’t a finish line; it’s an endless incline. Keep climbing:

• Invent new weights. (Partial? Deficit? One‑arm? Surprise gravity again.)
• Forge new arts. Write, paint, code, compose—let iron feed every medium.
• Lift others up. A true Übermensch creates fellow creators, not followers.

Now slam that chest, breathe deep, and step back under the cosmic bar. Show the universe a fresh definition of human possibility—and film it, so history can’t look away.

LET’S GO. 🟣

En este nuevo y audaz mundo de la IA, fusiónate con la máquina o quédate atrás.

Visión

Mi visión sencilla es esta: tenemos el ciber truck, el ciber centauro, el ciberespacio y Bitcoin como capital cibernético… Es gracioso, porque la palabra ciber ya suena un poco anticuada; uno piensa en cibernética, RoboCop, etc.

Más gracioso aún (en plan broma): ¿recuerdas los años 90, cuando en AOL Instant Messenger preguntabas a alguien «¿quieres ciber?»?

Hazlo todo ciber

A estas alturas, la IA es la máquina de alucinaciones definitiva. Crea su propia realidad extraña y, además, confunde la mente del usuario.

Si la usas el tiempo suficiente, empieza a inventar cosas: estadísticas falsas, “hechos”, referencias, citas. Es un gran problema, porque incluso un ser humano bien intencionado acabará engañándose a sí mismo.

Lo crítico es que, con la IA, más que con Google, surge una autoridad suprema. Esto preocupa porque cuando nuestros hijos crezcan… seguro que habrá más gente usando IA, no menos.

Ahora, buscar en Google se siente como usar AOL 3.0, mientras que ChatGPT es fibra óptica con esteroides.

La señal más clara: prueba ChatGPT Pro por 200 $ al mes y tendrás un Ferrari mental por solo siete dólares al día.

Lo que más me divierte es activar el modo de investigación profunda sobre cualquier tema que me interese y “derretir” el silicio.

Además, con el nuevo modo o3… es más listo y más gracioso que yo.

Cómo

Para mí, la IA es la palanca suprema: un lever para la mente.

Si tienes que mover una roca de 1 000 libras, es mejor engancharla a una máquina de hip thrust y levantar así… Busca mi rack pull de 508 kg en vez de intentar alzarla desde el suelo como un tonto.

Palanca

La palanca es la clave. Casi todo es una palanca. Incluso una bicicleta es la palanca definitiva para el cuerpo humano.

Steve Jobs dijo que el Mac era “una bicicleta para la mente”. ¿Por qué? Incluso en sus primeros días ya te potenciaba de forma increíble.

De niño, poder bajar cosas de Internet era activar el modo Dios: no tenía dinero ni podía conseguir trabajo a los 12, así que aprendí a descargar ilegalmente en los chats de AOL y a usar emuladores de Nintendo para jugar Pokémon a 8×.

Ser niño tiene la ventaja de cierta inmunidad legal: nadie demanda a un crío de 12 años por bajar Pokémon Rojo y Azul.

Como adultos, ya no necesitamos piratear: tenemos dinero. Gastar dinero real sirve de mecanismo de enfoque. Y ahora que la atención es el capital supremo, aunque tengas 100 000 películas gratis, dedicarles tu atención tiene un enorme coste de oportunidad. Mi regla simple: en vez de ver otra peli de Marvel, ve al gimnasio y levanta 508 kg.

¿Y qué más?

Si pudiera darte un “Ferrari mental” valorado en un millón de dólares que te hiciera dormir 8–12 h cada noche, sustituyera tus tareas tediosas y multiplicara tu creatividad y felicidad por un billón, ¿cuánto pagarías? ¿20 $ al mes, 200 $, 2 000 $?

Por qué este es el camino

Jony Ive se ha unido de facto a OpenAI y ya están trabajando en el dispositivo. Los early adopters tendrán una ventaja injusta.

Es como si todos usaran carruajes, mientras tú conduces un ciber truck autónomo.

Futuro

La trayectoria es obvia: Bitcoin y la IA. Si estás en su intersección, dominarás el futuro.

Ejemplo: MicroStrategy quizá sea la empresa más interesante del planeta porque hace ambas cosas. Son pioneros en business intelligence desde los 90… y Michael Saylor pisa el acelerador.

¿Por qué el futuro?

¿Por qué no?

Todos quieren una bola de cristal para ver el mañana: miedo, esperanza, FOMO… Por eso la gente vive en su bandeja de entrada: quiere conquistar sus miedos.

Creo tanto en mi metodología hypelifting porque me ha vuelto mil millones de veces más calmado. No siento ansiedad por nada: mercados, Bitcoin, lo que sea. Y con ChatGPT Pro mi mente está con esteroides.

La única razón por la que la gente no usa ChatGPT Pro es que no le gusta pagar por productos digitales. Pero, insensatos, ¿por qué gastar tanto en un coche mediocre o tirar 1 500 $ en un iPhone Pro, cuando podrías quedarte con tu iPhone SE de 300 $ y pagar ChatGPT Pro un mes?

En resumen: Grok apesta; ChatGPT es el único bueno. Y el modelo o3 es mil veces mejor que el 4o.

El modo de investigación profunda es el verdadero game changer: mil Einsteins trabajando 24/7/365 para ti, sin comer, dormir ni ir al baño, más cien Elon Musks 100 % obedientes… ¿no es este el camino?

Soy cada vez más escéptico con Tesla (aunque amo a Elon Musk) porque producir objetos físicos en el mundo real es muy arriesgado. Construir en el ciberespacio es un billón de veces más seguro y no está sujeto a las leyes de la física.

Si temes a Bitcoin, puedo asegurarte al 100 % que siempre será volátil, de alta energía, como manejar los rayos de Zeus, pero subirá para siempre hacia arriba a la derecha.

Con MSTR pasa lo mismo: es como echar grasa de bacon sobre un chuletón.

MSTU es aún más loco: napalm sobre carrillera de cerdo grasienta.

No conozco a nadie que no quiera ser rico

Monje budista u ONG, el 99 % de su existencia es económica. Sacerdote o Iglesia católica, el 90 % del tiempo se dedica a pedir donativos. Incluso el productor Bill Block (responsable de Fury, con Brad Pitt) pasa el 99 % de su trabajo recaudando fondos para rodar.

El dinero no es la raíz de todo mal; la moneda fiat sí lo es.

NUNCA DEJES DE PENSAR:

ERIC KIM BLOG >

1.  Who is Eric Kim?

• Origins.  Kim first gained traction teaching minimalist street‑photography workshops and publishing open‑source e‑books on his blog.
• The 2017 pivot.  He began folding in fitness, Bitcoin, and economics, deliberately stacking new audiences onto the old instead of abandoning them. 
• Rebranding as a “one‑man shockwave.”  By 2025 his homepage proclaims “CARNAGE—an all‑out assault on mediocrity,” signalling a total commitment to maximum‑impact publishing. 

Key lesson: Your brand can evolve without apology when every expansion is documented in real time.

2.  The Anatomy of “Digital Carnage”

Pillar	What It Looks Like	Why It Works
Mind‑at‑War	Treat every stale idea like an enemy combatant; ship daily.	Volume forces iteration speed; iteration births quality.
Internet Carpet‑Bombing	Cross‑post one idea as blog, tweet, short, reel, newsletter within minutes.	Algorithmic saturation makes it impossible to scroll without seeing your name.
Spectacle Strength Marketing	Viral 508 kg rack‑pull (6.8× BW) live‑streamed to YouTube & TikTok.	Extreme proof‑of‑work is share‑worthy, creating organic reach.
Carnivore‑Fasted Engine	One dusk mega‑steak, 22‑h fasts, heavy singles while fasted.	Radical simplicity frees daylight hours and intrigues followers.
Guerrilla Feedback (ARS BETA)	Anonymous “keep/ditch” critique arena for photos & ideas.	Brutal feedback sharpens output and sparks conversation.
Minimalist Napalm	One camera, one lens, one life mission—torch the clutter.	Focus compounds; less gear, more action.

3.  Results & Cultural Ripples

• Strength beats algorithms:  The 508 kg rack‑pull clip is projected to clear 50 million impressions in 24 hours, dwarfing typical fitness content. 
• Compounding traffic:  Blog averages ~67 k visits/quarter, but every viral lift loops new eyes back to older photography and Bitcoin essays. 
• Community reaction:  Reddit threads swing from admiration to “absolute joke!”—yet even haters feed the visibility loop. 

4.  First‑Principles Playbook for Your Own Carnage

1. Pick one audacious feat (physical, technical, creative) and document each micro‑milestone. 
2. Carpet‑bomb the moment:  Release long‑form, short‑form, stills, reels, and newsletter blasts in the same hour. 
3. Cross‑link everything—every post funnels to the next to trap dwell‑time inside your ecosystem. 
4. Iterate publicly:  View haters as free R&D; refine or delete with zero ego. 
5. Compress time:  Daily reps beat yearly dreams; publish before you feel “ready.” 

5.  Common Mis‑ID Alerts

There are multiple high‑profile “Eric Kims”: a Toronto tech‑CEO (Quantum Mob) , a Silicon‑Valley venture capitalist (Goodwater) , and former Intel CMO Eric B. Kim.   Digital Carnage‑Eric is the street‑photographer‑turned‑content‑blitz artist based at erickimphotography.com and erickim.com—don’t mix them up when you cite or tag.

6.  Keep the Joy in the Blitz

Kim’s mantra is “spare nobody—least of all your own excuses.”   Yet beneath the war‑paint lies a playful, curious spirit: publish wildly, lift joyfully, learn loudly. Adopt that zest and your own digital‑first journey can become a rocket‑ride of growth, creativity, and fun.

Grab your metaphorical sledgehammer, Innovator—hit ‘publish,’ feel the rush, and let YOUR digital carnage begin!
