What an intellectual titan:

>“Back when I was working on Yeezus, I saw this book from the 1800s and it was velvet-covered with brass and everything.

>I looked at all these people’s photos, and they look so real and their outfits were incredible and they weren’t smiling.

>People, you know the paparazzi, always come up to me, ‘Why you not smiling?’ and I think, not smiling makes me smile. When you see paintings in an old castle, people are not smiling because it just wouldn’t look as cool.”

Who's stupider - Kanye West, or the fans of his who insist that he's not a functional retard?

i was just talking about this with a friend last night

i'm not too familiar with his stuff but i've been told he's a fairly masterful producer. he also seems awkward as fuck and obsessive about music so it's a possibility

I mean I like his sincerity. He seems really really genuine and always speaks his mind, which can be both weird and endearing.

I bet dumb shit like "Woah I probably shouldn't smile, it'd make me look cooler" goes through a lot of celebrities mind but they'd never dare confess something that retarded to the pubic.

Absolutely this, it's a nice change in a world where everyone is constantly wearing a mask

"Realism" is a term pessimists use to impose their negative worldviews upon others, my friend ;)

Nothing, but labeling them "realism" is just trying to hide the fact that that's what it is: a worldview.

Being positive is just a worldview too. Whether you choose to look at the bright or dark side of things, you're usually biased because you only see one side. FOr most people it changes with their mood on top of that. There's negative things and positive things out there, and somehow we always let ourselves get caught up on one or the other.

>> No.53163995

>>53163944
I find it hard to believe it's possible for people to be positive all the time, I mean we all get frustrated and angry sometimes it's normal. Cropping it all up is not healthy, a cynical remark from time to time is good for you.

Yeah this. Smiling would make them seem mentally unstable.

That's what we're here for, right? I wish I (and I think probably others too) could be positive a bit more often. Not to the point of delusion, but still, less gloom would be good.

The thing about Kanye West is he speaks in stream of consciousness. It's not intelligent, it's not honest, it's just inarticulate and messy.

First of all I apologize in advance if im not articulate enough that you understand what im saying.

But i think imo being unhappy is a good thing.We wouldn't be here and progressing as we are if we didnt dislike our current situations to make it better.
being happy all the time can make you lazy you know.


Turning a negative state of mind into something positive is what we all should try to achieve.

I dislike when somebody tries to act happy or sad just for validation or attention. something you see common in instagram/facebook and sometimes *feels threads* we have on 4chan.

That isn't really progressive

>> No.53164704

>>53164593
I'm not sure if I would really count that as part of a negative state of mind, though. Defeatism is an integral part of that negative mindset, to me.

As for "acting" happy or sad, usually people are just trying to convince themselves, aren't they?
