Kanye is building a monastery.

Kanye is only going to take advice from children or people who have done things that he wants to do.

Kanye is going to make a hymnal.

"If I had known physics I wouldn't have been screaming at my engineer."

"Isn't farming and cooking bio-engineering in it's simplest form?"

Yes.

"Cities have been designed for industry and making money, not making happiness."

"Even the devil is an angel, a lost angel...Los Angeles..."

I can tell that Kanye has more thoughts than he's able to get through his speech. Holy cow, he's just like me.

"Visionary is too glossy and saucy of a title. I prefer to think of myself as an engineer."

Love this man.

"We need to dispel illusion. The artist or performer is put in the gladiator position of proving that we can kill more lions, tigers and bears than anyone else."

Kanye West asserts that Black History Month is a tool of white supremacy and systematic racism, and I don't think he's wrong.

Paraphrasing> Black History Month is like having a 'remember when I cheated on you month?' in a relationship

Now he's talking about how Black Americans rarely have proper aspirations for themselves, and how gangsters would be afraid to go to downtown in a white city.

Paraphrase> When we do things that God doesn't like, we become a lower version of ourselves.

"The devil will use you against you. You become your own worst enemy."

"When I talk, it's a symphony of ideas."

Yes, he's a System Thinker.

Joe> You are a very thorough thinker.

"We can only see and know what God allows us to see, and what He wants us to know."

"I went from having confidence and arrogance to faith, and the opposite of fear is faith."

Kanye is paleo when it comes to deodorant and toothpaste.

Kanye didn't like the medication they put him on because it dampened his creativity.

Kanye says the medication and psychiatric treatment destroyed his confidence.

"Slavery is a choice"

"Every version of anything that man has made will be flawed."

Kanye is woke on Planned Parenthood being a eugenic and anti-black process.

He calls his plan for children being adopted "Plan A" in contrast to "Plan B" morning after pill.

Long extemporaneous essay on how Love will save us, but we have to reorient ourselves towards Love and turn away from the spirit of murder.

Holy cow, Kanye actually has the most thoughtful symbolic model of reality I've seen outside of @PageauJonathan

This thesis seems to be that we need to structure society to make it easy for people to follow their anointing.

"MIT must be funded by people who want to take the smartest people and make them work on the smallest things that won't change anything."

Paraphrase> I talked to someone at MIT but he was full of fear, his girlfriend was pregnant and they had just gotten a new house and he was afraid of rocking the boat and losing his job.

Kanye even has an understanding of the 4HL.

Kanye and my priest are big on being careful of smart aleck prayers.

Kanye understands that pop culture is stuck in time.

"We've been stuck in a loop"

"In America we haven't seen kings, we haven't seen the royal blood in our bone marrow and how it comes through."

"Kodak is in a place where they can barely pull it together, they invented the digital camera, but they didn't bring it to market because have all this film to sell."

His new sneakers look like a sort of modern moccasins.

Kanye doesn't like the hype culture and is apparently an encyclopedia of lost designs and what could've been.

Retro-futurism / solar-punk feel.

"People are over-designing into industries where they think they can make some money, instead of stepping back and looking at the entire earth as an opportunity to free everyone and create happiness for everyone."

Ackoff feel.

"We're all the imitations of our parents and so-on all the way back to Adam and Eve."

"Building houses is a corrupt industry."

Yes.

"I was in an airport with a first-class area that was super slow, and a coach area that was empty (and fast) and me and only one other first-class person was willing to hop-out and go through the coach line."

Kanye drives his kids to school and stays at school with them all day.

He works in the kitchen at the school apparently.
