The ancients glorified perfection...

We glorify obesity.

The ancients’ advanced ideals of strength, courage, and honor...

We advance ideals of acceptance, compassion, and agreeableness…

The ancients singled out and celebrated the evolutionary hunter...

We indiscriminately celebrate everything and everyone...

The ancients were harder to hurt and harder to kill.

We are easy to hurt and easy to kill (suffering at record rates).

The ancients dominated.

We are being dominated.

The ancients had a belief system… to fucking strive... to never settle... to be more... every goddam day!

We have a belief system... to stand in line, wait your turn... to settle... to be less... every goddam day!

I’ll say it again... you are never enough, and never will be... so strive every goddam day and you’ll never be more fulfilled in life.

WHOEVER TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE ENOUGH, WAS WRONG.

You are never enough, and the minute you think you are, you coast, you rest, you decay, you die, you suck at life.

The Ancients Created a Belief System… to Fucking Strive!

The Greeks, Romans, and Aztecs created muscular statues... symbols of perfection, embodying the alpha tactical virtues of man, Ideals of strength, courage, mastery and honor.

A depiction, reminder, and reconnection of our potential to fucking strive… to be more every goddam day. Harder to hurt, and harder to kill. They were a formidable force…They dominated.

The ancients even built this belief system into their armor w/ a Roman chestplate and a six pack centerpiece… Imagine a league of muscular AF warriors descending upon an army of dad-bods, imagine the fear and the advantage.

The bronze sculpted Roman chest plates even made their warriors feel more formidable. The ancients created these muscular statues, and sculpted armor to depict a belief system…

To fucking strive… to always be more.

The Modern World Created a Belief System... to Be (Worth) Less

Graphic of a guy plugged into the wall recharging his mental battery

The muscular statues of the ancients have been replaced with hollow words…

YOU’RE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE...

The new narrative is sensitivity to all… To affirm with fake trophies, hollow worth, and hollow potential.

Ideals of acceptance, compassion, tolerance, and agreeableness; to get in fucking line, wait your turn, be patient, shut your mouth, and be nice.

Self acceptance… to be less… to do less… to settle for less… every goddamn day! Easy to hurt, and easy to kill. A hollow adult, that stands in line is a less formidable force… To be dominated.

Attempting to include and please everyone is an attempt to equally redistribute net worth/self-worth. It's a betrayal against SELF, AND that which makes life so goddamn worth living... earning it! aka, progress… aka, mooooar!

It ends up including no one... it pleases no one... it leaves the unsuspecting weaponless to get goddamn work.

So, Should we aspire to be less…

I Hated My 14 Year Old Self…

When I hear that men today feel unrepresented in a video game, I wonder to what degree does he actually give a shit... that's why it's called a “video "game."

Does he really want to play a video game where the characters are fat, weak and worth-less? You’re already playing that game... It's called “real life”. Nobody knows that game better than young LK… especially the weak and worthless part.

My 14-year-old self stood in front of the mirror, filled with shame, embarrassment, humiliation, and zero self-worth. This turned to hate and rage — for myself.

The self-imposed beatings were far worse than the physical ones I took on the daily. Because the feelings of inadequacy, weakness, being different, and rejection... I knew it to be true and justified.

Liver King as a child sitting next to his brother
I WASN'T ENOUGH, AND I WAS CONVINCED I NEVER WOULD BE.

(To this day, that hasn’t changed — and I’m proud AF to say so)

I would go home, and the bleeding would stop, but the hurt and hate for myself would remain inside me day and night. Eventually, I wanted to kill myself as a way out of the shitstorm hellhole that was my life.

Then, I wanted to kill all these motherfuckers that ever laid a hand on me. Everything changed in the blink of an eye, and I was transformed.

The SOlution

Liver King 2.0 working out

I got to goddamN work, and built this motherfucker from the ground up.

I wake up every morning thinking: I am not enough... and I never will be. I go to sleep every night knowing: I did what was required of me today… to rest tonight, because tomorrow I will strive until my blood fucking burns, to be more than what I am.

TO BE THE FUCKING BARBARIAN DOUBLE-FISTING BATTLE AXES, RUNNING UP THE MOUNTAIN TO NO END.

Every goddam day. It’s called “massive fucking action”. Because you are never enough, and never will be so strive every goddamn day and you’ll never be more fulfilled.
