Am hearing out Kanye WEST 2 hrs worth, let's see how far I get

So far he’s said he has a calling to be leader of the free world. He bases this on, like, if a world war breaks out, he's meant to be in the captain’s chair of a ship, like being the minister of a 100K congregation, or same as being the object of his Hip Hop fandom, or same as being the father in his current nuclear family or the husband in his current marriage. Same thing.

Says when he announced for president at an awards show Oprah told him, “You don’t want to be president” and later “You need to bone up on foreign affairs.” Plus at the time he was going to become a billionaire, so that's another reason to be leader of the free world, that he was in debt but knew he was about to turn it around.

Bruce Lee and Brandon LEE were both murdered. (He’s corrected that Bruce died of a reaction to medication and Brandon in an accident on a movie set.) But he says he thinks about (medication?) whenever he gets medical attention. Then Michael JACKSON, Prince, MARLEY, each one “not waking up one day.” Also, his mother’s death.

Said he doesn’t want to “go down rabbit holes.” But is hop-skipping on topics of the music industry, and “keeping people in their place,” and that we’re at the Roman Empire going down or the Titanic hitting the glacier.

He didn’t know, before, how to “rap for God.” God said to him, “Haven’t I given you enough?! I gave you an ego. You need to know when you’re serving me and when you’re serving your ego."

“It irritates me when people say, ‘God told me to tell you!’ “ (Laughter) So then God wants him to be leader of the free world. Stepped away from rap and never missed a service till COVID but God kept us afloat.

Building a monastery on his 300 acres in Calabasas that has a little house on it, where recording some Monk chords. Likes the words “paradigm shift.” “Jesus Is Born, got this idea from Pastor ADAMS.”

“Aqueducts like the city of Masada.” Nicolai TESLA, EDISON brought TESLA down, otherwise we would be free now. Things that TESLA never completed, things that DA VINCI never completed. We're at this PARADIGM SHIFT, dishonorable men honor money.


************************************************END
*******O.K., I didn’t have expectations of being converted but am bailing out. It’s a wide field full of “rabbit holes.” It’s been about 10 minutes.

3. Devastating all around: To self and others, sometimes destructive. When feeling "good" refusing meds

In this interview he's saying the drugs they wanted to give him were to "make him fat" and thereby to disconnect him from God and his creativity.

I'm letting the video run on in the background, but am doing other things and can't keep up anyway, either in jotting it down or in jumping over the "paradigm shifts."

2. Kanye might survive his bipolar disorder if they'd stop enabling him.

He has swings that are intense enough to be dangerous. I don’t know what his meds situation is but I’ve seen the Kardashians say more than once that he goes off of them. I think Kanye is a smart and talented and very Bipolar I man.

5. Yip, I purposely omitted the word "dangerous". "smart/talented' yip.

So far the vocabulary and exposure to topics are almost impressive if sometimes factually wrong, and the word salad is almost cogent, certainly at the level of complete sentences.

Recurring topic: Death of his mother. Almost ready to weep each time.

Other recurring topic: Freeing self from oppressors wanting to keep him in his place.

and it’s like riding lightning. I would feel a contact high if they were at that spot they always wanted to stay at, where everything is exciting and connected and incredible. But you can’t. And full blown Mania is a monster.

on this quixotic campaign. His family really needs to do an intervention.

long ago. Never thought I'd see the day I felt sorry for her, but the whole family is in for a rough time if he will not take his meds.

8. Can you imagine if he were on the ballot in all 50 states?

pUtin would not hold back--he would have a field day! A Kanye presidency would be a few notches better than trump's, but still an EXTREME nightmare.
