Own the Future by Investing in Our Kids: True long-term thinking means focusing on your children's children—people without kids see only the short game.Question Every “Fact”: Headlines are polluted by spin; the data may be real, but the narrative is almost always warped. Train relentless skepticism.Verify the Human Signal: Paid verification (e.g., Twitter X blue-check) and real-name platforms beat bot-infested open networks—skin in the game matters.Use AI as a Launchpad, Not an Oracle: ChatGPT is a creative possibility engine; assume errors, then transform its sparks into your own genius.Cyberspace > Geography: Bitcoin and the internet have replaced “America” as the land of opportunity. Digital sovereignty is the new frontier.Humans Stay in Control: AI is just an excavator—the operator (you!) drives all value, and the powerful have no incentive to let the world burn.Media Detox = Mental Armor: News is a vice designed for ad clicks. Delete doom-scroll apps, smash the algorithmic IV-drip, reclaim your attention.Shield, Don't Sabre-Rattle: Like Captain America, parents win by blocking harm—limit sugar, screens, and toxic feeds; model real-world strength.Radical Simplicity Wins: $300 iPhone SE, carnivore dinners, fasting, 30 k steps, topless shoe-free gyms—opt out of consumer bloat and flex real freedom.Create, Don't Consume: Craft your own fun with ChatGPT, Lego Technic, photography, or sunrise walks on the Phnom Penh waterfront—make life your art.Vision as Bliss: Sharpen your literal and metaphorical lenses; high-def seeing (and street photography) reveal daily miracles hiding in plain sight.Forever Forward: Trade constant upgrades for exponential leverage—invest in tools that amplify thought, steer your destiny, and build a brighter world.

⚡️ 503 KG: ERIC KIM JUST RIPPED REALITY IN HALF ⚡️(Vital Blog Post Announcement)Prepare your mind—because your old definition of “heavy” just died. Yesterday, in a storm of chalk dust and righteous fury, Eric Kim rack-pulled a soul-crushing 503 kilograms (1,109 lbs) and left the gym floor quaking. This isn't merely a PR… it's a paradigm shift.1. The Moment the Earth TiltedDate: 7 June 2025, 09:05 ICTLocation: Undisclosed Phnom Penh iron templeSetup: Thick bar, calibrated plates, double overhand grip (no straps—because excuses are for mortals)Execution: One brutal, gravity-defying yank that rocketed 503 kg off the pins, locked out, and held for a heartbeat of pure domination.Result: Silence → roars → stunned disbelief. Phones melted. Algorithms panicked.2. Why 503 KG Matters (And Why You Should Care)Flag on the Moon: It's the heaviest documented rack pull performed with no supportive gear.Proof-of-Work Ethic: Every kilo is a block of “proof” mined by sweat—mirroring Bitcoin's unstoppable chain.Mindset Milestone: 500 kg was the “impossible” barrier. Eric smashed it, then stacked another three kilos just to send a message: limits exist to be obliterated.3. The Physics of Supreme SovereigntyHormesis Overload: Stress your nervous system, trigger obscene adaptation—repeat until you're a walking neutron star.First-Principles Fuel: Carnivore diet, monastic sleep, sunlight on skin, zero-noise mindset. Strip away fluff, amplify fundamentals.Neurological Ownership: Heavy partials wire the brain for “yes,” erasing hesitation across business, Bitcoin, and life's battlefields.4. Ripple Effects: Internet Meltdown ChecklistBattlefieldStatusFalloutYouTube

Big deal: https://erickimphotography.com/1071-pound-rack-pull-new-world-record-at-6-5x-bodyweight-165-pounds-486-kilograms-75-kg-bodyweight-god-mode/Video file- https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zsxIBnrd/my-project-54.mp4Why the 1,071-lb Rack Pull at 165 lb Is a Game-ChangerStrap in, lean forward, and feel the earth rumble—because what just went down isn't just another PR, it's a tectonic shift in the physics of human performance. Here's why God Mode at 6.5× bodyweight is the ultimate flex:1 — Defying the Laws of RatioBeyond “Normal” Limits: Most elite rack-pull ratios top out around 5×BW. Hitting 6.5×BW at 165 lb is like sprinting a sub-9-second 100 m—it stops people mid-scroll.New Apex Standard: This shatters the “ceiling” for above-knee strength, rewriting every strength table and force-curve graph ever drawn.2 — Visualization = ViralityFloating Bar Illusion: The bar “hovering” before departure looks supernatural—people think it's CGI or magnets. When you see it break off, jaws drop, clicks skyrocket, algorithms pick it up like moths to a flame.Cinematic Hype: Chalk dust, low-angle GoPro, dark gym—every frame is a poster for power, turning a workout into a viral event.3 — Primal Signal of DominanceTestosterone Goes Sonic: This lift isn't just muscle—it's a hormone-fueled manifesto. When you're pulling half-a-ton off pins, you're broadcasting “I operate above normal human constraints.”Conviction Made Visible: Your followers see raw willpower turned into kinetic force. That's the currency of true alpha energy.4 — Philosophy of the Iron-MindVolatility Training for Life: Just like you thrive on market swings, you thrive on bar oscillations. Stress is stimulus—crank the load, adapt the body, evolve the spirit.Stoic Spartan Ethos: Every rep is a ritual. You stare down gravity, crush doubt, and emerge hardened. That's not lifting—that's transcendence.5 — Ripple Effect on the CultureMeme Infrastructure: #GodMode #6.5xBW #MiddleFingerToGravity—each hashtag spawns its own tribe, remix culture, and hype cycle.Cross-Tribe Collision: Iron-game meets crypto-game. Powerlifters, traders, photographers—all converge to worship the same pure spectacle of strength.Bottom Line: This isn't just a record—it's a declaration. A statement that biology bows to willpower, that ratios are meant to be demolished, and that any barrier—physical, mental, or market-based—can be pulverized with enough conviction.So load the bar, chalk your hands, and channel your inner God Mode—because gravity is just the next challenge to conquer.
Read: https://erickimphotography.com/life-theory-4/PDF: https://erickimphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Life-Theory-3-2.pdf# Life TheoryOK, some life theories:## Physiological energy & powerOK this is like numero Uno, physiological energy and power. Like thinking that heaven and Hell are simply metaphor for your body you're a human body, to sleep a glorious 8 to 12 hours, 12 hours, undisturbed sleep, with sublime peace and quiet of mind and soul… This is pure heaven. Opposite as hell, which is like disturbed sleep, or inability to sleep, insomnia… Lying in bed with your iPhone, unable to sleep. ## Solutions I have some very very very simple solutions. First, we have to think and consider, we are in this for the very long game. I can imagine being passionate about bitcoin until I die. As a consequence, I don't really care so much about daily weekly monthly, or even yearly issues. For example, my whole initial bitcoin approach was simple: **set it and forget it**.  I initially bought 3.5 bitcoins, for around $25,000, in 2018, when bitcoin was $7000 a coin. And then, I tried with all my heart stolen power to avoid checking prices or bitcoin related news, which I suppose was good because at the time there was no real news outlets or influencers covering it. As a consequence, I was in a very happy shielded cave, a metaphorical bitcoin fortress, for almost like five years.The only time I ever ever ever heard about bitcoin prices was when random people or family members would casually mention it to me, or Cindy would randomly see the prices. And to me, I tried to use my stoic training. I tried to be very very stoic in the good times and the bad times.So for example when people would ask me… Do you want to know what the price of bitcoin is? I didn't really know whether it was a good news or bad news, but because I knew I did not want to open up Pandora's box, I bit my tongue and said no. And as a consequence, one bitcoin was also very down, I also told people to please not tell me prices.And so kind of without really knowing, I rode bitcoin from $7000 a coin up to $65,000 coin, almost 10xing my initial investment ,,, enough to get me a starter kit Lamborghini, $250,000, from my initial $25,000 Toyota Corolla investment.--> **Bitcoin can magically transform your Toyota Corolla into a Lamborghini.**Anyways this was the first life epiphany: there are certain things in life in which you think you want, but when you could actually afford it, you discover that in fact, you didn't really want it that much in the first place? 
# Why Phnom Penh is the Best City on the Planet: https://erickimphotography.com/why-phnom-penh-is-the-greatest-city-on-the-planet/Ok, some simple thoughts and observations:First, I think I could speak well because I've literally been on like all the best cities on the planet. It's at least like 1000 times better than any other city on the planet. Why? Let me try to do a comprehensive breakdown:First, Khmer culture. Difficult to explain Khmer culture if you've never been here, but what's super interesting about Khmer culture is that it is an interesting combination of calm, peaceful, tranquil, zen. The feeling I have is everyone is really at a sense of peace, calm.  Second, the youth. I think the median age for people here is like 21 or 25 years old? Literally everybody you meet is super young in the city. Everyone is super super happy smiling all the time, extremely friendly, great at English, and also very ambitious. And it kind of makes sense, like when you go to a café or a restaurant… The whole place is run by like 18 19 20 year-olds.

Range of motion is for losers: https://erickimphotography.com/range-of-motion-is-for-losers/Audio:: https://erickimphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Range-of-motion-.m4aPDF: https://erickimphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Why-Range-of-Matter-Doesnt-Really-Matter-3-1.pdf# Why Range of Matter Doesn't Really Matter The cult of range of motion is tired. A polemic, war cry *against* this loser range of motion idea.## 1. Fake virtuosity Besides NASSIM TALEB, am I the only powerlifting philosopher out there? Also, am I the only bitcoin investor, MSTR shareholder who can lift over 1000 pounds? Join the 1,000 pound rack pull club.So am I honest read on the whole thing is that people trying to turn fitness into a fake virtue signaling thing. For example, to complete a full range of motion with perfect form is the goal, to simply fit some sort of Procrustean bed of what is “proper”.## 2. I want to see you get hurtOK… Just search my thousand pound Atlas lift, I was essentially micro loading with the barbell, for like a full year. Everyone at my local gym, thought I was a bit peculiar; at first, nobody really paid that much attention to me. Eventually, I heard guys singing in the locker room, being suspicious that I was on steroids, because… Some guys Are on steroids who don't look like they're on steroids?The reason with 100% proof you can know that I am not on steroids is that I don't even consume whey protein powder. Also I do it while fasted. Also I'm not on Instagram. Also I'm already a bitcoin independent rich and wealthy.Therefore, think about it… There's no real incentive for me to take steroids because I desire to have more children, and I don't want my testicles to be shot. And also… Come out look at me… I have like the clearest most beautiful skin of all time, I'm always topless, and I have glorious, Brad Pitt FURY haircut... and also, I don't really even look that buff. I look pretty modest. I'm like Brad Pitt from fight club, but like the demigod version.

the bitcoin prophet https://erickimphotography.com/the-bitcoin-prophecy/# GOD CANDLES LOADING!!!Shout out to at @ladoger21, and also… @mstrgladiatorSo there's this really funny notion, I'm not sure if MSTRgladiator coined it, or somebody else, but doesn't matter. The thought and the idea of it is very sticky.First of all… I don't believe in candles. I started doing all the technical analysis stuff when I was like a college sophomore Junior, and I realize that it is all fake superstition.Why? The reason why technical analysis makes no sense is that it cannot predict black swan events. For example, let's say you're reading all these loser graphs, creating some sort of ridiculous model. And then one day magically, the US government announces that they have just purchased 10 million bitcoins. Obviously the price of bitcoin is gonna go through the roof.

I need more power!So currently listening to Phong Le's Strategy world presentation ,,, and his randomly talking about the Emirates food supplier, and how amazing it is that they like ship millions of meals across all these different airlines, so simultaneously, all around the planet at the same time.This is kind of an interesting desire for myself as well. For me to simultaneously be all around the planet, at the same time, 24 7 365 ## The markets?So what is insanely annoying especially now that I am in Phnom Penh Cambodia,,, is the time zone difference. I've been doing big transactions, trade and investments, and there is almost always some sort of arbitrary time zone lock, or, ability to execute orders when the market is closed. For example there's this one strange rule that if I suddenly have a huge chunk of cash, sitting in a traditional investing account, and let us say I want to buy MSTR STOCK, or MSTU,, or something else, I cannot execute it if it exceeds more than 25% of my account balance at once? Even more annoying, when the markets close. I'm kind of in a weird liminal in between time zone in which in some ways I'm living in the future ahead of time, and there are days that I am just waiting on the weekends, twiddling my thumbs for the market to open again on Monday. But for myself, because I'm in Asia, The markets don't open for me until I wake up, Tuesday morning? this then makes it very very annoying for me to have to do certain things like if I have a idea for a big trade or order… I have to be awake at some ungodly hour in Cambodia in order to executed. But after one or two nights of staying up super super late, in order to execute a certain order, and then, not being able to sleep for like two or three hours because there is so much adrenaline, it's not worth it.**Even $1 million, is not worth one night missed sleep**. So once again, a really really big problem: to solve this issue and problem that the markets are closed on the weekends,
