 All right, Cook asks, ah, this is Taizy's question. What are your thoughts on Kanye West's recent antics? God, I'm gonna alienate people, right? Because I know so many of you love Kanye West, right? He's this amazing, brilliant artist. So let me stop by saying, I never got it. I still don't get it. I don't like rap. I don't like hip hop. I don't like Kanye. I don't like anything he's done. I'm not impressed. He strikes me as a complete cook. People say he's got, I don't know, some kind of real mental illness. I guess he just did Lex Friedman, so I should watch that show. But everything I've seen of him, I'm unimpressed. Yes, he's a rap singer who's not a radical leftist. So what? He doesn't strike me as particularly intellectual or particularly bright or particularly interesting when it comes to his views about anything. He's a mishmash of stuff. He's been unbelievably successful. That success has gone to his head. What did they say he's bipolar? It could be he's bipolar. I don't know. I feel a little sorry for him. I know Don Watkins is a big Kanye fan of his music and said that he understands he's bipolar and kind of feels sorry for him because he's bipolar and got mental problems. I really, I have no connection to Kanye. So I read his tweets. I see the anti-Semitic horrible stuff he writes. I see other stuff he says and he writes. And it's just ridiculous. Cook says in the Lex interview, Kanye straight up said he's a tribalist and encourages fans to do what you feel, follow your instincts. That's who Kanye is. He's a intellectual nothing. And the fact that he, you know, this is the problem. I said this in one of my events. Who cares what Kanye thinks? He's a, you know, so he does good rap music. Does that mean he knows anything about anything? No. Celebrities are zeros. They're nothing when it comes to anything outside of the thing that they're. Celebrities fall. So I never found it interesting what the political views was of movie stars or rock stars or, you know, what the, or, you know, sports. Like I don't care what LeBron James thinks about politics. All I care about is how well he plays basketball. So I have no interest in their politics. And it's not that I'm even offended by it. If they don't have the same politics as me. It's just, it's irrelevant. It's just a random person from my perspective. Because, because the fact that they're good at basketball, it doesn't make them good on anything else, at anything else, at ideas. So Kanye defies a certain attitude that I think exists among rap singers and around in, in, within that culture, which, which has elements of anti-Semitism in it, associating it with, with money and bankers and greed and so on. I associate Jews with that. I think, but I think Kanye is more than that. He's just not intellectual. He's just not rational. He's just not a person to be emulated. He's, he's not interesting, right? He's a rap singer. Fine, like his rap. Great. But, but, you know, I wouldn't listen to Alex Freedom in an interview with Kanye West other than to discover that he's a, he's bad, but Cook just gave me the quote I need. And now I'm completely uninterested in what Kanye has to say. So, you know, he's, people, I think, got all excited about Kanye because he came across for a while as not left, but not being left is not a virtue, not left. It's what are you? Which, as soon as whether you have virtues or not. And what is he? He's certainly not of any intellectual inclination that is pro-liberty, pro-freedom, pro-reason, pro-egoism.
