Music / NewsMusic / NewsKanye is writing a philosophy book in real time on TwitterPosting your way to a higher consciousnessShareLink copied ✔️April 19, 2018April 19, 2018TextSelim Bulut Kanye West made his grand return to Twitter earlier this week to tell the world all sorts of things: his thoughts on art and creativity, his upcoming shoes, and his neck tattoo designed by Gosha Rubchinskiy (seemingly designed using a free download from DaFont.com). The burst of activity followed a rare interview with ‘Ye, conducted with his interior designer Axel Vervoordt and published by The Hollywood Reporter, in which the rapper announced that he was writing a philosophy book called Break the Simulation. In fact, as Kanye revealed yesterday, the book was in fact being written “real time” on Twitter. “No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write,” Kanye wrote. “This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.” oh by the way this is my book that I'm writing in real time. No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write. This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 18, 2018I will work on this "book" when I feel it. When We sit still in the mornings We get hit with so many ideas and so many things We want to express. When I read this tweet to myself I didn't like how much I used the word I so I changed the I's to We's.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 18, 2018 He continued: “When We sit still in the mornings We get hit with so many ideas and so many things We want to express. When I read this tweet to myself I didn’t like how much I used the word I so I changed the I’s to We’s.” Who here hasn’t sat down, opened up Twitter, and thought to themselves, ‘the timeline is the greatest work of literature known to man?’ Who here hasn’t considered ‘posting more’ to be the true route to enlightenment? Check out some more of his thoughts/tweets/book pages below. when you first wake up don't hop right on the phone or the internet or even speak to anyone for even up to an hour if possible. Just be still and enjoy your own imagination. It's better than any movie.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 18, 2018Be here now. Be in the moment. The now is the greatest moment of our lives and it just keeps getting better. The bad parts the boring parts the parts with high anxiety. Embrace every moment for its greatness. This is life. This is the greatest movie we will ever see.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 18, 2018You have the best ideas. Other people's opinions are usually more distractive than informative. Follow your own vision. base your actions on love. Do things you love and if you don't absolutely love something stop doing it as soon as you can.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 18, 2018I don't believe in the concept of an enemy. We have been conditioned to always be in competition. Stop looking for something to beat and just be. You don't have to do all the work. Once you start moving in love the universe will assist you.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 18, 2018Escape the algorithm!
