Well...it's cool he's on that enlightened tip. That's only the first step though. Hopefully he'll reach the next level, where he can actually translate his ideas into a form that other people can understand. After that, it's all about bringing thoughts to fruition.

Until then, he's just a young cat whose going through his third eye phase.

Because they thought Galileo was crazy, too, you know what I’m saying? I don’t think I’m as revolutionary as Galileo, but I don’t think I’m not as revolutionary as Galileo.”

How did you know to ask this question brehette? :dwillhuh: I'm legit freaked out :lupe:, this is one of the first philosophy books I read back when I was 16. I don't recall much of it, except for his differentiation of the essence of man and the essence of things (he used chair and stone as an example, that much I remember).

It's a book I'll eventually have to go back to because I couldn't quite handle the concepts he spoke of, but now I've got the tools to view his work with the proper the philosophical methods.

The one thing I remember from the book was trying to understand the idea of objects just simply "being". Being En-soi (french for in-itself) and Being pour-soi (french for for-itself). To say the book was hard to swallow would be an understatement. :wow: I now wonder if the book is as hard as Hegel's phenomenology of spirit :jbhmm:...probably not. Thankfully it's a small book, so I don't mind going back to it. I gotta read Foucault too anyway, I've been slacking on the french philosophers.

You like philosophy though?
My degree is in it, but I really want to look at it now. I want to focus more on existentialism. Thinking about Penn's state program in philosophy with an African American focus.


I'm having a hell of a time digesting the bit of Being and Nothingness that I've read.

What did he even do to help the world?

He just seems like a normal celeb that thinks they're "different" because they dress weird.

I need to see receipts because he hasn't done shyt as far as I know.
I imagine jaden is the type of person who is so secure with himself that other people around him feel free to be themselves. I'm that kind of guy as well. I don't have the revolutionary aspect like jaden but I know a lot of my homies, women, feel like they can be as 100% comfortable with others as they are with me. I'm not even halfway as confident as jaden so i dont know man.

I'm attracted to weird people in general. Something about them screams this is who I am and I'm unapologetic.

Yep, im the same way. For as long as i can remember, ive always admired/respected people who aren't afraid of being themselves. People who aren't intimidated by others to go against the grain. People who simply dont give a fukk. Especially younger people when peer pressure and sheep-mindedness is so prevalent. I :salute:the young man. He aint hurting anybody. Ive listened to a couple of his mixtapes and he's CLEARLY highly intellectual. You have to be fairly smart to express oneself so well period, but especially at such a young age. Ive said it before, but i think he has the potential to be the next Lupe with more time and life experience.
