Sam Harris

But insofar as that's the reason he's saying what he's saying, do not put this guy on camera and let no one see it.

But when he shows up in a gimp hood on Alex Jones' podcast, either that's more genius performance in his world, or he's unraveling further.

well, then that falls into the asshole bucket for me.

It's like, then he's someone... And honestly, the most offensive thing about him in that interview, from my point of view, is not the antisemitism, which we can talk about, because I think there are problems just letting him spread those memes as well.

But the most offensive thing is just how delusionally egocentric he is.

or was coming off in that interview and in others.

He has an estimation of himself as this omnibus genius, not only to rival Shakespeare, to exceed Shakespeare, right?

I mean, he is the greatest mind that has ever walked among us.

And he's more or less explicit on that point, and yet he manages to talk for hours without saying anything actually interesting or insightful or factually illuminating, right?

So it's complete delusion

of a very Trumpian sort.

You know, it's like, it's like, you know, when Trump says he's a genius who understands everything and say, but nobody takes him seriously.

And one wonders whether Trump takes himself seriously.

Kanye seems to believe he, he seems to believe his own press.

He actually thinks he's, he's, you know, uh, just a colossus.

And, um, he may be a great musician.

You know, I'm not, you know, I've, it's certainly not my wheelhouse to compare him to any other musicians, but, um,

One thing that's patently obvious from your conversation is he's not who he thinks he is intellectually or ethically or in any other relevant way.

And so when you couple that to the antisemitism he was spreading, which was genuinely noxious and ill-considered and...

has potential knock-on effects in the black community.
