Aaand he's off his meds again.

[–] LordOfLocksley@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Was he ever on them, in recent years?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago

Not since his mom died.

You can see a very tangible drop in cognition around the production and release of The Life of Pablo. Pretty sure he's been unmedicated since then.

So some commercial American social media still ban Nazis? How long will they be able to do that?

I can't believe he lasted that long. This guy needs help.

The sad thing is, I think you are correct, without even joking. I think he literally needs some kind of help.

I try to keep an open mind always. So a while back he did a Lex Friedman interview, and I listened to it. For anyone not familiar, Lex does long form interviews of an hour or more and gets deep into various subjects.

I got about halfway through before concluding that there is something seriously wrong with West. Maybe he is just stupid (not as an insult, I mean like he lacks any sort of intelligence) or maybe he has brain damage or maybe he is just delusional. But you listen to the guy talk for more than 5 minutes at a time and you wonder what the hell is wrong with him.

For example, he spent a lot of time blaming the 'Jewish media' for a lot of America's problems. Lex repeatedly asked him for specifics, challenged him to call out specific members or leaders of said media for specific actions, challenged him to use his platform to identify bad actors. He had few if any specifics and saw no particular benefit in any specific call outs, in his world it's all a conspiracy and the whole 'Jewish media' and everyone part of it is all one and the same.

Furthermore, he spent a lot of time explaining why we should stop teaching history in schools. Said we should focus on science and technology classes and not waste time reliving the past. Lex tried hard to challenge that, even brought up specific non-partisan examples from history that presented useful lessons for today. It had no effect, West continued to double down on the position that teaching kids history is a waste of time and resources.

At this point I had wasted about half an hour listening to the guy, and decided he was simply not worth my time to listen any further, because he obviously fundamentally misunderstood how the world works, how human nature works, and had little or no facts or evidence to back up his positions. I concluded that any further ideas from West can probably be safely dismissed without much consideration, because his thought process shows no evidence of rational or scientific thought.

Honestly the best analogy I can think of is like going to a mental institution and listening to a crazy person. They will talk your head off for an hour about how aliens infected their brain or whatever, and the only thing you will get from it is an hour older.

I've only ever seen his tweets and people quoting him in articles but watching him speak for 7 minutes is eye opening. I cannot follow a single thing he says. It's just a non-stop stream of consciousness rambling with an occasional "hail hilter" and "I sucked my cousin's dick".

Is that his house now? That is the most divorced-dad looking empty-room i've ever seen, like he just finished moving his shit out of his ex-wife's house and hasn't had time to get new furniture of his own

Drugs in the 90s were responsible for great music and dead singers, drugs today won't work as fine

Is that some kind of speed run record?

For people not doing a ban evasion, who had a previous account?
