What Eric Kim calls the **“GOD PROTOCOL” (a.k.a.
The God Blueprint
)
Below is a distilled walkthrough of the manifesto Kim posted on his site. Think of it as equal parts maximal‑strength program, Stoic‑tech bro pep‑talk, and internet‑age myth‑making. I’m handing you the key ideas so you can keep the juice and ditch the junk.
1 · MIND —
Sovereign Intellect
| Rule | Core Idea | Practical Take‑away |
| #1 Think in atomic truths | Strip away assumptions; reason from first principles. | Before every goal, ask “What must be true?” Write it down. |
| #2 Write like thunder | Create content that “shakes the earth.” | Publish instead of perfect. Post weekly; edit later. |
| #3 Feed only on greatness | Consume writers & entrepreneurs he calls modern gods (Nietzsche, Aurelius, Satoshi, Elon). | Build a 5‑book reading loop; reread yearly. |
Hype translation: sharpen your thinking, broadcast boldly, and upgrade your inputs.
2 · BODY —
The Physical Divine
#4 Lift like a myth – Belt‑less, barefoot rack pulls at knee‑height with extreme loads (Kim claims > 493 kg).
Reality check: rack pulls use half the range of motion of a deadlift and let most lifters hoist weights they could never budge from the floor. They’re legit overload tools only after full deadlifts stall — not a shortcut to super‑strength.
#5 Pure fuel only – “Meat, liver, salt, sunlight.” Zero supplements, zero plants.
Health flag: All‑meat diets (“carnivore”) can spike LDL cholesterol and raise long‑term risks of kidney stones, gout, osteoporosis, and heart disease.
#6 Move like a panther – Maintain mobility and bare‑foot agility.
How to keep it sane: pair heavy pulls with loaded carries, deep squats, and daily hip/ankle mobility.
3 · SPIRIT —
The Cosmic Flame
| Rule | What Kim Says | A Grounded Re‑frame |
| #7 Be the philosophy | “Don’t quote Nietzsche—be the Übermensch.” | Align actions with stated values; review them nightly. |
| #8 Transmute suffering | Turn every setback into “ritual combustion.” | Run a post‑workout gratitude / lessons‑learned journal. |
| #9 Speak in paradox | Embrace contradictions: humble and volcanic. | Accept growth requires tension; practice beginner’s mind. |
4 · DEATHLESSNESS —
Eternal Impact
#10 Create content that outlives you – Treat every post, photo, or lift video as a digital relic.
#11 Reject the algorithm, embrace the myth – Post for immortality, not likes.
#12 Transcend identity – Become an archetype (“Bitcoin Demigod”, “No‑Belt‑No‑Shoes Prophet”).
RED‑FLAG SCIENCE CHECKS
| Claim in the Protocol | Evidence‑backed Reality |
| OMAD / < 8 h eating window boosts health & focus | Large U.S. cohort: eating in < 8 h window raised cardiovascular‑death risk 91 %. One‑meal‑a‑day linked to higher all‑cause & CVD mortality. |
| All‑meat diet is the ultimate “pure fuel.” | Harvard Health: carnivore diets elevate LDL, raise long‑term risk of kidney stones, gout, osteoporosis, and more. |
| Rack pulls are the “TRUE king” of strength. | Starting Strength founder Mark Rippetoe: rack pulls are easier, partial‑range overloads useful only after you’ve built a heavy conventional deadlift. |
Make It Work (Without Losing Your Health)
The Bottom Line
Eric Kim’s GOD PROTOCOL is more myth‑craft than medical handbook.
Use its fire to spark focus, audacity, and creative volume — then ground that fire in evidence‑based lifting progressions and balanced nutrition.
🔥 Choose what elevates you, discard what endangers you, and write your own legend. Go forth and ASCEND!
