The goal -- not more money and resources, but more physiological power . How to gain more physiological power? More extreme intermittent fasting during the day No sugar , no carbs, no alcohol , no weed Eat more meat when you break your fast at night When you’re tired, just take a nap with eye mask Lift weights and become physiologically stronger

Are you dominant or submissive? If you desire to advance the human race forward ... you must be dominant.

To become more creative, focus on optimizing your human metabolism: https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/10/06/creativity-is-metabolic/

The first principle rule to freedom and maximal joy, happiness and flourishing in your life:

Virtual reality -- a great philosophical tool.

The more things you own, the more things own you.

Via negativa bullshit from your life, as well as distractions, superfluous stresses; anything you can control.

You are your own master:

Whether we like it or not, quarantine is the new way of life:

Virtual reality -- good if we can use it as a philosophical tool to better understand and *AUGMENT* our humanity! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/10/01/eric-kim-vr-thoughts/

Brave new world of future of creativity:

The future is already here:

Towards a brave new future of visual entrepreneurship:

A quick behind-the-scenes peek of how I give feedback on photos (online using ZOOM, and using the iPAD + Lightning to USB-C adapter to my MacBook Pro laptop):

Do not go to photography school. Serious waste of time and money. Better to just learn for yourself via trial and error, by experimenting by yourself, watching YouTube videos, and reading websites blogs and forums than to waste serious $$$ (and time) to go to photo school. I used to think: If you get a full ride, or you can go to photography school for free… it is a good idea. Now I take that back...

Perhaps this is what drives us as entrepreneurs and creators: What we currently see existing in the world is kinda lame, or ‘meh’ and we desire to create our own idealized things which we wish to see manifested in the world and in reality! Just make it!

We all like great designed things. Fancy watches, sports cars, bags, clothing, cameras, gadgets, tools, etc. But this is the problem with modern day capitalism-consumerism: We think we are artists when we select our own aesthetic tastes by going online or to the mall, and buying things which we think represents us as people, artists, and individuals.

Simple: focus 90% of your energies on what you truly care for and you are passionate and good at, and invest the other 10% on other 'side projects' or 'side interests' which might become your strength! MORE >

Just hack it.

What Becomes MORE Valuable Over Time, What Becomes LESS Valuable Over Time?

The gist: Don't concern or worry too much about your own personal needs. Meet the bare minimum for your basic human needs, and devote the rest of your intellectual and creative metabolic energy towards greater ends! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/09/19/how-to-transcend-your-sense-of-self/

In life if you approached it like it were all fun and games ... wouldn't you be happier, more productive, more creative and more passionate about living? https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2020/09/16/in-praise-of-play/

Photograph like a child!

In Praise of Playing with Kids For the most part, I FAAAR prefer interacting and playing with kids than adults. Why? We have soooo much more to learn from children: Their phenomenal sense of creativity, disregard for rules and ‘social tact’. They speak what is *really* on their mind. I wonder if children (if we observe their thought patterns and behaviors, etc) are the more *true* form of human be...
