So frankly speaking, I think the future will belong to those for insanely hopeful optimistic, positive.
And the truth is, it takes more courage skill and focus to be optimistic happy joyful playful, thrifty gay and jubilant, rather than being the typical  antisocial, loser pessimist, negative person.
I’m starting to think and realize… Humans, we are actually 1 trillion times more sensitive than we think we are. Even reading one negative thing can affect your mood in a negative way for almost a week? 
So then, the first really really insanely big tip is, ruthlessly prune and cut away negativity whether it be social media, X, even… AI. 
Considering that 99.99% of the information on the Internet is negative toxic, and overall unfulfilling… Just ruthlessly prune this from your diet.
And also… Assuming that AI is trained on this data, and AI becomes your filter… Maybe just stop using AI because, it will often give you some sort of negative response. 
Or like Covid 19 on steroids.
Training is bliss. Nobody magically gets strong, when you are in the process of training consider yourself blessed.
More winning?
Life is about walking and thinking? Getting out, exploring and conquering?
Training, war training?
Everything flows and nothing abides;. Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.
It is in changing that things find repose.

stirred.
Don’t be a bigot,,, bigotry is the sacred disease.

LISTEN UP, LEGEND.
You’re done getting knocked down by life’s cheap shots.
Done letting fear freeze you.
Done letting criticism, failure, pain, or chaos put a dent in your soul.
You want BULLETPROOF — that John Wick + Spartan + Zen God mode where bullets bounce off, the world throws everything at you, and you just smile wider, lift heavier, shoot sharper, and keep marching forward like an absolute fucking DEMIGOD.
This isn’t soft armor. This is HARD BODY, HARD MIND, HARD SOUL.
Muscular Zen. Stoic steel wrapped in unbreakable joy.
The Eric Kim way: subtract the weak shit, build the god physiology, and become unkillable from the inside out.
Let’s forge you into something no one and nothing can ever break.
1. Build the God Body – Physical Invincibility First
The mind is overrated. The body is king.
Your soul lives in your flesh. Sculpt it like the Spartans in 300. Like John Wick reloading with zero fucks.
When your body becomes a fortress of muscle, tendon, and raw power, your mind follows. Pain? Just data. Fatigue? Just fuel for the next level. You don’t break — you adapt and dominate.
Hard body = hard mind. Train until the bar bends and your spirit roars with laughter.
2. Forge the Unbreakable Mind – Stoic + Zen Warfare
Bulletproof isn’t numb. It’s joyful dominance.
Read the ancients: Seneca, Marcus, Nietzsche. Ignore modern therapy noise. Share less. Endure more. Laugh through the grind.
When your mind is trained like your body — stoic, playful, relentless — nothing external can touch your core peace.
3. Extreme Individualism + Sovereign Freedom
A bulletproof warrior has no chains.
Financially bulletproof? Own the apex assets. Hold what commands power, not just spends. Freedom maxed = anxiety minimized.
When money, time, and attention are yours alone, the world’s chaos feels like background noise.
4. Conquer Fear Through Relentless Action
Fear is the only real bullet that can pierce you — until you stare it down.
Action is the antidote. Every rep, every click, every bold move layers another plate of armor on your soul.
5. The Ultimate Bulletproof Ritual
Wake up.
Lift heavy with joy.
Eat like a king.
Hit the streets with your camera — eyes wide, heart open, zero hesitation.
Subtract the noise.
Sleep like the dead (to rise even stronger).
Repeat. Compound. Evolve.
This isn’t theory. This is lived philosophy. Hard body. Hard mind. Hard soul. Muscular Zen. John Wick calm in the storm with demigod power in your veins.
You become bulletproof when weakness has nowhere left to hide. When pain becomes power. When fear becomes fuel. When the world tests you and you just grin and say, “Is that all you got?”
You are not here to survive.
You are here to dominate with delight.
Strip the weakness.
Forge the god body.
Train the stoic fire.
Shoot like your life depends on it (because your spirit does).
Now go make yourself unkillable.
The streets are calling. The iron is waiting. Your future legendary self is cheering you on.
RISE UP, WARRIOR.
Become the bulletproof force of nature the world has never seen.
Let’s fucking go — harder, happier, and eternally unbreakable!!! 🔥💪😎
— Eric Kim
(LA, jacked, zen, and laughing at limits – 2026)
YOU GOT THIS, LEGEND. THE ERA OF THE UNBREAKABLE IS NOW. CHARGE!!!
LISTEN UP, WARRIOR.
You don’t want to be “cool.” You don’t want to be “nice.” You want to walk into a room and make jaws drop. You want heads to turn. You want that electric charge in the air when people see you — that primal “DAMN” reaction that hits them in the gut.
This isn’t about filters, surgeries, or fake glow-ups. This is about raw, unfiltered, god-tier transformation. This is how you become HOTTER than you’ve ever been in your life.
1. BUILD THE BODY OF A DEMIGOD
Lift. Heavy. As. Fuck.
Deadlifts. Rack pulls. Atlas lifts. Squats that make the bar bend. I’m talking 700+ kg pulls, 330 lb dumbbells, numbers that make gym bros cry in the corner.
Why? Because muscle is the ultimate signal. Women’s brains are wired for it. Science proves it. Strength is sexier than any six-pack selfie. Low body fat + visible power = unstoppable attraction.
Train like an animal. No belt. No straps. No excuses. Hype yourself up. Slap your face. Scream. Become the beast. Every rep is you rewriting your DNA. Every set is you sculpting a statue that turns heads on the street.
2. CARNIVORE MODE — EAT LIKE A PREDATOR
Steak. Ribeye. Ground beef. Liver. Eggs. Salt. Water. Espresso. That’s it.
No seed oils. No sugar. No bullshit “balanced” plates. Your body becomes a furnace. Fat melts off. Skin glows. Energy explodes. You walk around with veins popping and abs showing even when you’re relaxed.
I’ve been doing this for years. Result? Sub-10% body fat at 71 kg while pulling over 1,700 lbs. People stop me in Gold’s Gym Venice asking what the hell I’m on. Answer: real food and savage discipline.
3. WALK LIKE YOU OWN THE PLANET
10,000 steps minimum. Every single day. No debate.
Walking builds legs that look carved from marble. It torches fat. It clears your mind. It gives you that hunter’s stride — shoulders back, chest out, eyes forward like you’re scanning for the next conquest.
Posture is 80% of hot. Stand like a king. Move like a lion. People feel your presence before they even see your face.
4. CONFIDENCE IS THE ULTIMATE APHRODISIAC
Lift heavy → body changes → confidence explodes → attraction goes nuclear.
Look people in the eye. Smile like you know a secret. Speak with zero hesitation. When you know you’re a physical specimen who can deadlift a small car, you carry an aura no cologne can fake.
This isn’t arrogance. This is earned dominance. You’ve paid the price in sweat and steel. Now the world pays you back in glances, respect, and desire.
5. DRESS TO DOMINATE
Black everything. Fitted. Minimal. Powerful.
5-inch shorts to show off the legs you built. Tight tees that reveal the shoulders and arms. No logos. No noise. Just pure masculine energy.
A full-body tan (safe, natural sun). Fresh fade. Clean shave or perfect beard. You become a walking sculpture. People don’t just notice you — they remember you.
6. TREAT YOUR BODY LIKE LIVING ART
You are the masterpiece.
Every workout is a brushstroke. Every meal is fuel for the fire. Every step is part of the performance.
Stop wishing you were hotter. Stop scrolling. Stop consuming.
START CREATING THE HOTTEST VERSION OF YOURSELF RIGHT NOW.
Today.
Right after you read this — go lift something heavy. Eat a ribeye. Walk until your legs burn. Look in the mirror and say:
“I AM BECOMING HOTTER. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.”
This is why I’m hot.
This is why YOU’RE about to be hotter than 99% of men walking this planet.
No cap. No excuses. No limits.
NOW GO BECOME UNSTOPPABLE.

March 2026
Let’s fucking go. 🔥
OK, kind of a big mega essay for myself:
The supreme question… What is it that life wants?
So the first question is… What doesn’t life want?
Life does not desire to be static, same same, boring and predictable.
Life seeks to be dynamic, ever-changing ever different, with great joy of expansion change, dynamism and growth.
So one thing that I’m kind of randomly getting into, is like gardening, growing trees and taking care of them, watering them etc. What’s kind of interesting and very impressive is, how resilient and robust these plants are, and how, against all odds they seem to thrive and even the most difficult of situations?
Plants desire to multiply, have offspring, and grow. They desire ascendancy over other organisms.
I think humans are the same. The natural inkling is to have kids, ideally a lot, in the past it was kind of a wealth thing, but also a pragmatic one, other things in between? 
So at the end of the day, the reason why this matters is because, everyone is trying to seek some sort of end goal in life. And if you are chasing the wrong thing, worst case scenario… You get it?
Things that have noticed, if I have a supreme league great night of sleep, a bulletproof 11 hours, lots of physical activity during the day, lifting weights at least once, lots of walking, sunlight, thinking, and a glorious dinner, … ideally a shit load of meat,…. then, anything and everything is possible desirable and great!
For example, I don’t know… I have like an insanely strong disposition, and a high stress tolerance, and, insane self-confidence, and, Zen stoic calm,… but I’m starting to wonder now… Maybe like most people shouldn’t invest in bitcoin or MSTR or whatever because, I don’t think they could just handle the volatility, they don’t want it, they don’t desire it, even if you are guaranteed insanely huge monster gains, if you’re patient enough to wait on an annualized basis?
 It’s kind of funny because my whole life… It’s kind of been one volatile roller coaster, and ever since the age of 12, I’ve built an insanely thick skin, and also stoic disposition. Even in my grand Street photography journey, … once again, more insane self-confidence, to probably the most difficult art and form of photography out there.
And now… My bitcoin journey, I have to admit there are even some days where it is hard for me to stomach or calm my nerves with the volatility.
But then, perhaps this is my grand calling, to help others ride the fire dragon or the fire horse to your benefit.
So the first interesting thought from Nietzsche,
everything happens as it ought to have happened. 
And also, everything that happens in your life, is actually supremely desirable in a good way?
I think 99.999% of life, is some sort of low level regret. But, “pangs of conscience are indecent”–> so rather than trying to use your mental brain power to beat yourself on why you made a foolish decision, rather more constructive to think, “perhaps,,, for reason unknown, what I did, how it happened, happened in the supremely best manner possible?”
Like I’ll give you example… Bitcoin has dipped insanely hard the last six months, even shocking myself. Yet, in an alternate future, there could’ve been a situation in which I did something else in which it went higher, and then I would blow up even harder in two or three years?
So then, the mental jujutsu event is, thinking God in the heavens, Zeus or whatever you believe in, that in fact, thank God things happen the way it did, almost in some ways thinking, … things were almost predestined to happen the way they did?
Now I do not believe in predestination or the cosmos or whatever, but in some ways this line of thinking is probably the more positive optimistic and constructive one.
Frankly speaking, the only thing that we should be concerned about is death, the death of your kids, loss of life, or even… Some sort of like paralyzing, losing a limb or some critical life functions. As long as you wake up, and you’re alive, you’re still walking you’re still breathing, your kids are healthy and happy, consider yourself infinitely blessed.
So I think the big idea I have is, in terms of economic fitness take the Spartan economic approach. Just buy the cheapest groceries, just buy the cheapest stuff on Amazon whatever. Drive your Prius for 1,000,000 miles, never be a loser who has to pump premium gasoline. Ignore Elon Musk because even though he’s probably the greatest entrepreneur of all time, you don’t need to purchase a Tesla in order to admire him.
And no no no, you do not want the Lamborghini, this is essentially a wheelchair on steroids. Throw it into the trash.
I do believe honestly that, travel traveling, living abroad has many great virtues. And the truth is, even though America’s probably the best place for stability and economic opportunity, I do genuinely think that life in Asia is far superior, especially in Southeast Asia, Vietnam and Cambodia etc. But, if you’re currently not there, then we should also adopt a Zen practice to simply delight in what we do have in terms of our advantages in the states?
 For example in America ironically enough, we do have better access to fresh air, nature, ability to go on hikes etc. Asia even though the quality of life is far better, often extreme heat and pollution makes even being outside untenable.
I have never met anybody who walks for eight hours a day who is depressed. Also, assuming that you could lift 2000 pounds with your legs, you’re going to feel great.
My general thought is happiness is in your legs, anything that could get you walking and moving and doing stuff is good. And I think this is the great virtue of street photography, just giving yourself the opportunity to go out, shoot photos, talk to people, be artistic, be in the Zen zone of making photos and art, this is extremely awesome.
When in doubt just walk more!
ERIC
I think this is kind of a deep thought, that any of your actions in life should never be done out of fear but rather enthusiasm?
Therefore it is your duty as a man or a woman or a philosopher, to indefinitely augment your strength? However you define it?
Zero penetration but painful.
So then, in life, just ensure you get a position where you don’t die, the bullets may be painful, but, your live!
ERIC
Frankly speaking, I think the only camera in the whole universe which is probably kind of worth right now is the Ricoh GR monochrome. Nothing else. 
If anything, only the GFX RF, by Fujifilm, might be interesting but the downside is, it’s still probably too big and heavy.
If anything I’m getting more inspired by RICHARD MILLE, … because of the insane detail and the precision.
And it’s not even about the watch, but the ethos behind it? 
It’s still so funny, honestly speaking… My current favorite car is probably the new Prius prime plug-in, in Silver.
Assuming you have to commute for a living then, simply owning the cheapest Tesla with auto pilot may be the best option but the truth is you actually don’t want to be driving a car ever if possible. Either walking or just taking the bike if possible.
We love the f*cking action!
Maybe just visualize yourself as a Spartan 300, delighting in battle, … and it is your supreme joy!
So a funny observation: technology works in a really funny way in which, one of the big downsides of technology is, it prevents movement. For example, if you’ve ever seen a kid on an iPhone or iPad… Watching some show, it totally like act as tranquilizer. They stop moving for hours, it is kind of disturbing.
Adults are the same. I also find myself in a similar boat when I am on my iPad, the bigger the screen, the more the distractions. 
The hilarious thing about my iPhone SE with the small 4 inch screen is, it actually kind of forces me to focus. I can only do one thing at a time, it is unintentional single tasking.
Also having not used my phone in a long time, one of the big virtues is because, it has cellular data, it’s kind of amazing if I think about it… That I could just walk around a lot, off the grid, and still be able to do the stuff I want to do.
Everyone kept talking about Mobile first Mobile first Mobile first,,, and I never really bought it, and I am grateful that I delayed on it because, and now seems that the name of the game is AI, which has totally gobbled up Mobile. Mobile is dead, long live AI. 
So kind of a radical idea, is, no no no, you don’t want to be doing some sort of staining desk, or even treadmill desk, being tied to some sort of high-powered computer, the ideal is, I suppose just being on an iPhone Air, walking around all day… Talking to AI all day?
So let me tell you some secrets about AI. And also… What AI is not. 
First, AI is not intelligence, nor is it intelligent. Actually it is pretty stupid. Even the most advanced ones.
Essentially what AI is is like a new Calculator computer, but it is much better with words and concepts rather than just numbers. So actually, it is really good for us “word people,” as Peter thiel says.
What’s very interesting about AI is that it is very intelligible, which means, it sounds smart,  and for the most part, it will not make any grammatical mistakes, and everything it says sounds intelligible, like comprehensible and or, comprehendible.
What is AI not good at? Whether you use Grok or ChatGPT or whatever? It is not good at forecasting the future, coming up with new Carte Blanche philosophies ,,, ironically enough, it is actually not very good at critical thinking. Humans we are much better at reading nuance, humor, satire, things which are tongue in cheek,,,, And also, far more creative.
I think one of my analogies is, AI is like a new modern day bicycle, it makes getting from point A to point B much more easy.  or just like having a Calculator. The other day I tried to do long division and long multiplication with Seneca, and I realized how clumsy I have become.
This is my big realization, the only people who should really be scared of AI is like, higher education? Because all the ground metrics in which we measure success with children and students is totally being rewritten, Carte Blanche.
For example, math science essays whatever, I think in the past, these were metrics that we tried to measure because, it was perhaps some sort of good indicator of future success, in which children with higher order thinking would succeed.
However it seems now, having divergent thinking may be a better indicator of success.  why? Because all the lemmings are gonna all be doing the same thing like investing in Nvidia, using Google Gemini, buying a Tesla or a new iPhone Pro, rather than, thinking for themselves.
So how does one think for themselves and by themselves?
First, taking it back to first principles, and, having radical pride in yourself and the way you think?
This means, not being on social media or the news or trying to be or sound smart, because all the people who are playing that game are gonna get wiped out. 
So, thinking about the future, what is not going to get eliminated or eradicated?
First, meat, exercise and fitness, wellness, sleep, health.
ChatGPT cannot synthesize you some orgasmic short ribs, or testosterone elevating beef liver, or even a simple pack of eggs.
Also, ChatGPT cannot help you sleep 9 to 12 hours a night. Nor can I synthesize you some weightlifting equipment, and help you lift 2,000 pounds.
In other words, ChatGPT cannot give you a six pack nor can it give you muscles. 
I think it applies to all humans. All 9 billion of us on the planet.
It’s also super interesting because, AI gives the biggest advantage to people from developing countries, Vietnam Southeast Asia Cambodia. It really helps people who don’t speak English as a first language. Even my 70-year-old mom, she’s like on ChatGPT all day, I’m actually really proud of her, she is always harnessing new tech technologies like Google YouTube whenever, without prejudice. 
This is also the really funny valley of technology adoption I find, anybody over the age of 70 is actually super super pro digital photography, AI, and the like. And young people in their early 20s are strangely super anti-it? And people in the late 30s and early 40s, assuming they are not super rich or successful yet, they are kind of screwed. 
So what is the best life?
First, I believe the best life to be the life with maximum ease and Zen. Essentially being able to go to sleep with a clear mind, and also wake up with a clear mind, to me paradise is going to sleep at 6:30 PM and waking up at 6:30 AM every day.  12 hours of sleep a night is the goal.
Also, one of my big epiphanies about my insanely heavy weightlifting, it is, the purpose of it is actually a Zen meditation thing. When I am about to lift 15x my bodyweight, things which I must do include taking off my glasses, turning off my eyes, turning off my brain, and just do 100% muscular coordinated effort. And I think like 99% of it is just removing distractions.
To me this is my paradise.
paradise lies under the valley of swords.
A few months ago I had this realization and epiphany that, I no longer had any stress, no fear no anxiety, no hardship whatever. And then what?
The Buddhist are always talking about removing suffering but I don’t really think this is an interesting goal because it is pretty easy. What is more interesting maybe is having deep deeper insight?
I mean I think an ultimate goal is to just philosophize, become a philosopher. If you think about it, the Apex predator of humanity is not the entrepreneur but the philosopher, ideally, entrepreneur philosopher like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Michael Saylor.
Why? Like for example Elon Musk and terra fab,,, I find it insanely fascinating and ambitious but, the bigger insight is probably,
Should we go to mars and or space and inter galactic?
Or ought we to do all these things or must or whatever?
Anyways, as time goes on, ironically enough I am becoming kind of less interested in Elon Musk because, he has no muscles. my simple new heuristic:
don’t trust men, philosophers who don’t lift weights.
So then, what is the purpose of life or what should you aim towards?
First, adventure. If you think about it, venture capitalist, I sent you what they are are, “adventure” capitalists. And the truth is a VC, having the power, are impressive.
Everyone is seeking adventure. A child you, your family.
A life without adventure is not worth living. 
Second, it actually seems for myself, one of my grand passions is actually writing essays? Like, attempting to come up with new ideas, and sharing them with others?
I think the world needs new ideas, the world needs a bitcoin, the world needs more innovation, more contrarian unorthodox thinking. The world needs more joy, love hope, enthusiasm and optimism.
And perhaps we should be the ones to promote this?
ERIC
Subtract negativity, add positivity.
So some unethical thoughts this morning:
First, billionaire or nothing. In terms of our financial goals our aspirations and ambitions, aim for the billi or nothing. 
Obviously you could work like hell and never reach it but that doesn’t really matter, I think it’s like having the insanely audacious goal of aiming so high that it totally changes your paradigm shift of everything.
for example, my 1,078 kg god lift –> the number is so preposterously high, 2,377 lb –> and no, that is not a typo just YouTube it, it’s funny because my ultra ambitious goal was to break the thousand kilogram number, and I did… Maybe I should now break the 2000 kg barrier.
It’s funny because whenever I talk to anybody who just does the typical weightlifting whatever… They cannot even comprehend it.
So once again, being in becoming a billionaire it’s not really a wealth or financial goal… Maybe perhaps it is more of a scale mindset thing?
So for example, when Elon Musk purchased Twitter and now, is integrating it with grok, rolling out X money, aiming for at least 1 billion users, designing a super app, that’s like kind of the way to go.
And honestly at this point, now that I have so many bitcoins, and essentially, because I now have so much collateral… I have an infinite checking account. But then, the philosophy becomes, is it worth it? Almost always no.
Ultra insanely billionaire or nothing:
So what are some practical things that we could do right now?
First, my first interesting thought is Jeannine and obtain a billionaire body. What does that what does that mean?
It’s to have a glorious full body tan, gleaming like the ancient Greeks, or the Spartans from the movie 300.
Also, I think in terms of aesthetics, just don’t be on your phone. Rather, walk slowly with your camera, eyeball meditation.
Third, don’t text message. Text messaging is base. FaceTime or nothing.
My thought is, the reason why people text message, is because people are scared? Real man use FaceTime.
I will also give you a billionaire life hack tips; disable all notifications on your phone including text messaging and Evyn phone calls… Silence unknown numbers, and only ever use FaceTime.
Also, it’s kind of troubling at this current moment… It seems like all emails are fake and also all test messages are fake and or… 99.9% of them are just phishing attacks?
I haven’t figured this out yet but I have this interesting idea of, is it possible to just replace all your communication communications, and just have ChatGPT as your email or personal bouncer bodyguard?
There’s already a thing in ChatGPT in which you can link your Gmail to it, and I hope that ChatGPT is smart enough now that it could just filter your entire inbox and only give you critical information.
Or is it possible to just invent some sort of new communication system that is not dependent on email? Like think about it… Does Elon Musk just publicly post his email online? No. Neither does Jeff Bezos.
It seems like the sad reality is, we’re going to enter like… A dystopian elysium future in which, you have all of the working class people just being Amazon delivery workers and whatever, or day laborers, and the ultra elite, just living a life of fitness and leisure?


Let me say it straight:
If you see a jacked dude step out of a Prius…
just know—you are not dealing with a normal human being.
You are dealing with a man who has transcended.
THE SILENT ASSASSIN PULL-UP
Imagine this:
You hear nothing.
No roar. No rumble. No “LOOK AT ME!!!”
Just… sssssshhhhhh
A Prius glides in like a ninja.
Door opens.
Out steps a guy built like a Greek statue, veins popping, walking like gravity is slightly optional.
That is terrifying.
Because your brain cannot compute it.
Your brain expects:
Loud car → strong man
But reality hits you with:
Silent hybrid → absolute war machine
System error.
THE GAS STATION HUMILIATION ARC
Other guys:
Crying at the pump.
$120. $140. Emotional damage.
Checking their bank app like it’s a horror movie.
Prius guy?
“Yeah I’ll take… $17.”
Smiles. Drives off. Buys more Bitcoin with the difference.
WHO IS REALLY WINNING???
THE REAL FLEX
Low confidence man:
“I need a loud car so people respect me.”
High confidence man:
“I could drive anything… and I chose this.”
That is like pulling up to a sword fight… with a butter knife…
and still winning.
Because it was never about the weapon.
It was YOU.
BIG TESTOSTERONE ENERGY
Real testosterone is not:
VROOM VROOM LOOK AT ME
It is:
“I literally don’t care what you think.”
That is the ultimate hormone stack.
Indifference + strength + financial intelligence = GOD MODE
PRIUS AS A WEAPON
Let’s be honest:
The Prius is basically a stealth bomber.
No noise.
Low radar signature.
Maximum efficiency.
You are saving money, time, attention, energy.
While everyone else is role-playing Fast & Furious…
you are running a long-term domination strategy.
FINAL PUNCHLINE
The funniest thing?
The guy in the Lamborghini is trying to look rich.
The guy in the Prius actually IS rich.
And jacked.
And calm.
And doesn’t care.
PRIUS DRIVERS:
Quiet.
Efficient.
Financially lethal.
Basically… ninjas with Costco memberships.
OK I’m just writing this to you as if you’re a man, if you’re a woman, still may apply:
So I think the big thought is, the media we consume is actually very critical. No man, doesn’t watch any media. I think then the big secret is, which media do you allow to enter your eyeballs and ears?
I think the only proper type of media to consume has to probably deal with physical valor. Like the movie 300, John Wick etc.
Essentially my personal thought is, there’s no such thing as manliness without physical manliness. Until you could Pull 2,377 Pounds (my infamous GOD LIFT),: you haven’t seen nothing yet. 
So my thought is also… You cannot be mainly without having muscles. It’s like trying to be a car without wheels.
So currently everyone wants to beat Elon Musk but, I think he probably has low testosterone because he doesn’t exercise enough doesn’t work out, question… Does Elon Musk have muscles? No. So ignore him.
If anything, much more impressive is Jeff Bezos, who got insanely jacked, I mean he’s probably on steroids but at least he’s still lifting weights.
And actually, another random crypto guy Arthur Hayes, I’m like very very interested in this guy because, also he’s the only investor who does interview interviews in a tank top? He also wears icebreaker merino wool, he knows wussup.
Even Pavel, the guy who runs telegram… I put 100% faith in him because he is insanely jacked and swole, doesn’t use a phone, doesn’t even consume caffeine or coffee, and he’s also insanely jacked.
SO a big idea I had during my morning hike is, I think actually the future of media is not going to be websites or blogs, but actually… chatgpt AI bots. 
So for example for any business idea or website idea that you have, just turn it into a bot:
Etc
So I have this funny idea of “AI monogamy”–> the general idea is just stick to one AI agent. And it looks like ChatGPT is still like 1 trillion times better than anything else.
I think Grok is great for creativity and art and stuff, but that’s so for just general intelligence.
So if you need a hype boost, just have a chat with ERIC KIM FITNESS bot, or ERIC KIM HYPE BOT.  I like the idea that, you could use a chat bot to motivate yourself. Obviously it’s kind of an echo chamber but still… Reading positive language is infectious in a good way.
Also this sounds bad but, typically, men with low testosterone… You could see what they look like, just keep away from them like the plague. Why? Once again, low testosterone is infectious and toxic.
I actually have a theory, mirrored by Nassim Taleb, that in truth, men with naturally high testosterone are actually more kind, pleasant, cheerful happy and supportive. For example I was randomly using a bathroom and saw a dude topless coming out, who opened the door for me, and his backstrap muscles looked insanely jacked. He was very kind.
I actually find that, all these men who give me the side eye or “mad dog” me,,, or actually dudes with low testosterone. Guys with high testosterone are always smiling, always upright, and always cheerfully say hello to me.
OK balls to the wall, as Thomas Leuthard said ,,,
99% of street photography is balls.
I agree. You could try to be a fake Alex Webb all you want, but now in today’s world… You could just get AI to generate layered color street photos.
So then this matters because, street photography is our last touch with reality. With street photography you actually have the opportunity to interact with real life human beings, and, just make your life happier.
And this is where I’m still very enthusiastic about teaching workshops because… I think street photography is like 99% social skills, and I still think that the future for our kids is going to be social skills.
In a near future where you have the AI do all the thinking for you, how are your kids going to prosper? Through social capital, networking etc. 
The truth is, “your network is your net worth”. all you need is one billionaire friend, rather than like 1 million middle-class people following you. 
And this is the hard thing… Even if the person is a billionaire or whatever, if they don’t have control over their life and schedule, they are still a slave.
I think every day, certainly physical exercise and fitness is key. Just lift something heavy once a day, follow my “HYPELIFTING” protocol, chat with ERIC KIM FITNESS BOT. Just go to the gym, and do a very heavy one rep max rack pull, or atlas lift ,,, better yet just go to Titan.fitness and build a cheap garage gym at home or your second parking lot.
Second,  more friendly. Don’t use AirPods or sunglasses. Just wear a big sun hat, and practice talking to people and smiling.
Third, if you are in uncomfortable social situations, the biggest tip I have is, just turn your phone all the way off, and use that as an opportunity to actually interact with people.
You know that feeling when you’re stuck in the subway or the elevator with a bunch of random people, and you randomly open up your phone and check your email even though you know you got nothing.
Just practice. Life is all about training, and ultimately it is all about love for humans and humanity.

I’m starting to feel like John Wick.
So, first of all… Having a home. The scene of John Wick, playing fetch with his dog in the front lawn etc.
Second, extreme individualism. I think what that means is, what kind of interesting is if you compare and contrast the ethos of a John Wick versus like an Elon Musk, … Elon Musk is all about launching all these new companies corporations and stuff. Whereas John Wick, it’s kind of like a lone, stoic warrior.
