  1. Engineering this problem. This problem is the opportunity. And yes, that what could some people may deem is a mistake. Would it be more genuine if I called it a mistake? Think I would be hypocritical by calling a mistake with the ending of the idea I'm going to say out loud. So I don't try to be a hypocrite on purpose. But I will call it a mistake to add a genuine, to be genuine about the feeling. With that mistake, Me as a human being not to justify, but I have to state that God makes no mistakes because if I hadn't made that mistake, I wouldn't be in front of you today. And that's not to justify this sleepy text.

  2. The people that carry specifically that pain, not the pain that I talk about that doesn't seem to be as much of a pain for people when I talk about the abortion clinics and stuff. That's, it's like, that's the argued pain even in my own community. Like not everyone thinks that's a pain. But for the Jewish community, it's collectively this was a pain. And I've gone so far just psychologically on this journey since that statement had happened where I didn't want to like give up the candy in my pocket. I didn't want to say, hey, I stuck my hand in the candy jar. I wanted to defend my freedom of speech. I wanted this. But even with freedom of speech, pain is pain, causing people to hurt is not helping. Causing people to hurt is not helping. So that means I have to take a more sophisticated approach to...

  3. Are the influencers of the rest of the planet? We're the youngest startup in history, right? We're the youngest country, right? So for me in my position, the fact that I can talk to Trump one day and be at a game with Kim Kardashian the next day and then be at Paris Fashion Week, they don't want me to be involved with language of decisive divisive language, you know, proving that I can be just as racist as a racist white person. Oh, I can be a racist black person also. That's not what God has called me to do. So how do I simplify and say, hey, to you as a visionary, as an engineer, as a person that's given me a platform that as my brother, I want to apologize to you for how that made you feel and to the rest of

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  4. And say, I'm sorry for hurting you. As a Jewish person, I'm sorry for the way that made you feel. And I'm sorry for the entire population of a race that I feel is actually my brothers because I classify and feel that I'm also connected with Christ in that way that my people came from Africa in that way. And I can't say it's this exact teaching or that exact teaching, but I feel that there is an important, you know, the sons of Abraham, however we want to word it, right, for us to come together and bring our different talents together to serve God collectively. And he, as much of an alien as I am, he does not cause me. He did not call for me to alienate. And that's what the problem has been, especially in politics and in America. He plays America as the TV, as the radio to the world. We invented rock and roll, right?

  5. That story about Da Vinci alone is enough of a reason for me to give a sincere apology to the Jewish people because I do believe that there's a Da Vinci Code inside of all of my misspellings and scribbles right here that God wants me to get to the world and to When I'm in my way, if God has set something on me, when I'm in my way, I'm in God's way. Now I can point at other people and say, hey, you guys are in God's way because you're not listening to me. But if I'm in my way, I'm not listening to God. And for me to be a philosopher and a leader, whatever other language, I have to listen to God. So before God, what I will do is start off as a samurai.

  6. Know why I apologize when I say I'm sorry to the Jewish people that I hurt? It's not about, like I said, I'm not going to hold this apology hostage, right? Obviously it's about God, but God is everything, right? So what's the point of having language and being you can't engineer if you say, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, right? It's like God asks us to be judgmental so that you become, if you're a doctor, right? It's your judgment that saves grandma, right? And God puts that in there. We have God inside us. We're a piece of God also, right? So I'm going to go specific to a person.

  7. Every time I go and piss off a group of people or do these things on some end, it's like I could be turning my thing from a potential world vision to a code. Or I could be opening up conversations with new friends that I may trust someday.

  8. I'm doing right now, but you will. And that's what I would say to everyone. You may not understand what I'm doing. And this gives a little bit, maybe we're like 20% there. But there's still going to be people we leave this interview and they will be like, I still don't like the way he apologized. I still don't want to say what my involvement would have been to make them lead them to that point. And we just want things to be how they are. There's people in the world who want the world to stay as it is and there's people who want to change the world. And that's happened throughout time. They say that with Da Vinci halfway into a conversation, he could not suffer fools so much that he would walk away halfway into the conversation. And I said, well, that's why. It's the DaVinci Code and not the DaVinci world.

And then I'll go like working out. No carbs. Like my weight will fluctuate. And I'll have times I'm like, I don't feel like being told what to do. So I don't want to work out with a trainer. And I just want to drink this Hennessy. But I want to say this thing that I will text to Kim sometimes. I'll say, you know, You may not understand.

It's just God, then me, and then fuck everybody. You know what I mean? That's how that's really how I live my life. And I just want to say this one thing about the children thing I wanted to, you know, put that point together put that idea together that I don't like the word point.

  11. I promise that I had to stop envying. Their current cool time. If anything, if someone's cool and I say their name a lot, I'm going to flash. Light on them so much that it ages their coolness. It's actually a war technique. Showered in compliments. Know because that you to be able to stay at 45 years old to still be the bad kid in class at 45, I'm still in the principal's office because if you look at like, say, fashion, right, if you think of something fashionable, it's probably going to look like the kid and the principal's office. That's going to be the fashion. And that's part of the reason why I'm the most influential person and fashion and fashion because I refuse to leave the principal's office.

I care about the vision that I have to a Steve Jobs level to the point of Putting that above. My regular human existence, meaning having to go and take all the arrows that I become a soldier of division because someone could say, a wife could say to in the 60s, their husband's about to go to war. The wife may not want their husband to go to war. Because of their children. But he's going to war. Because of their children.

Size of zipper or the fact that, you know, for people who know, they know that that's like Carhartt. Even though the Carhartt tag isn't there anymore, you just know by the shape of it, you feel it. It abstracts, it takes into like this cubis place, like Picasso Matisse or African Cubism or Dire Strace Money for nothing and your chicks for free. Look at that.

  17. Think we need to have these healthy conversations. That's what it is healthy conversations, healthy dialogues. That's the biggest thing like when I first wore the red hat, the conversation is less healthy than it is today. The conversation about George Floyd, you know, it's like, did I send the tweet the right way? Is Candace Owens documentary perfect? Is what Michael Moore, as that documentary is perfect, a century self isn't fully accurate? You know, it's two to three hours of a transmit of information through particularly usually one person's view And anything you want to research, if you're interested in it, You got to look at 10 versions of it, 20 versions of it. George Floyd, we've looked at one version of that. Now we have a second. Whoa, by the time we get to the, you know, I know this is like, it's not my last hoodie.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. So we should just share. Every piece of information together, as I go build parlor and as he builds up Twitter and see how to make both those better. But I'll be like, hey, I'm not going to let Snapchat bully me out of, you know, adding something to it that's best. It should just be the best platform possible. That means that Know that means TikTok has amazing features Twitter has amazing things about it I know this girl that's like I like Instagram better than Twitter is just she likes that Twitter has porn But other than that Instagram but I was like well Instagram is porn also. It's like soft, it's more subtle. It's not telling you. It's not conservative by any means.

  19. Well, Elon can look at what we do over here. That's why I like God does this a lot of times. He creates Dobblegangers. There's a lot of examples where theory happened two places at one time, a really similar type of personality happens at one time.

  21. I mean, I see How we could be of use to each other. You actually have a particular thing for me as I eject from media. Because even also, you know, I'm really big at like, you know, burning the phoenix too. All you know as an engineer that your sales completely regenerate every seven years, I think I rush the process a little bit. So I run around looking like a burned victim sometimes.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Yeah, trust your gut. Trust your instincts because that instinct is who God made you to be, not, you know, what lines up with your like frat brothers or what lines up with what your dad wanted or what lines up with your classmates or, you know, it's just. God has something inside of you. And when you walk down the street, you're thinking about it, and then you just see it in the window. And you go down another street, you see the same thing, or you're thinking about a number and that number pops up, or you see it on a license plate. And that's just, you know, something is trying to say be the maximum yay. You know, be the maximum you. And God won't give you anything that you can't handle. So for me, Everything is a yes. I think they say be like water. I know Bruce Lee said that. Matter of fact, just be

  24. Some things of these titles, like we need to remove the titles, like, hey, if I have to leave Adidas and I have to go next computers, that may take me out of the billionaire standing altogether. And I got to get low for however long God says I have to get low and refocus. I've been reshaping, refocusing my staff. I had some people that were good and I had some people that weren't and I had too many people and I've got a vision inside of me and I'm like, this is how I make this vision. I have to bring this vision to life. Have to bring these houses to life. I was talking to one of our architects on, you know, we're actually getting close on it. I've like built it a few times. I had like the domes you probably saw and I sat, you know, how he transformed Kim's house. And, you know, we're getting there.

  25. Yeah, I mean, just everyone wants to say, well, this is our value. Snapchat, you know, no one wants to lose their value to someone else's value, whatever. It's like, and everything is just, what's the difference between permanent and temporary? You know, is this a permanent structure? Until God says it's not, you know, it's like nothing's permanent. Our life is not permanent. So, how do we just let go of those things, even like going from the name Kanye Westille was the beginning of just letting go.

  28. The memory, there's ego and memory and the memories who designed the sidewalk, who designed the water fountain, who designed the stop sign, who designed the stoplight. These things are so ubiquitous that the person that designed them is forgotten. If it's a good idea, it's a God idea. And I don't know VCs can own it.

  29. What I can say is The world is sick I have slight images of utopia, slight images of happiness, slight images as a visionary and a creator. And I know for a fact the way that business deals have been done for me. Are keeping the world sick

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. But what I'm saying is that's what I feel may need to happen for my people to have power again. Because when my people have been left under the media's control, we've been made sick. We've been allowed to be sick. We've been promoting sickness.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. No, no, listen. If you were, if I said I didn't want to have the Jewish people in the company, would that be anti Semit It would sound like it, right? You'd say I'm from 1930s, right? But for me as a tribe to say no, I want an all black company

But that would have been anti-Semitic That concept because you can word that in a different way that would sound anti Sem

  33. Tribes move, you know, tribalism is real with black people to separate the brightest from the tribe or to separate the leaders. It is factual that the CIA removed the leaders from the black community, put crack in the communities, put guns in the communities, and locked up all the leaders and called them gangly, right? Locked up all the leaders, locked up all the fathers. Now 72% of black mothers are raising children by themselves. This is agenda like a Tuskegee experiment set on my people, right? And what I'm calling out for the black people in entertainment is. What are we doing? We have to collude. And if we don't collude, because even if I said, hey, I'd like to make a company that's all black. Is that okay for me to say?

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. Even if I say, hey, okay, I was frustrated for these reasons, now it's not good enough. You've literally tried to make me reapologize ten times in this meeting, re-say this, re-say that, but it doesn't change the fact that my people are sick and I'm the only person in my position that will say that my people are sick. Today, not 30 years ago, not 60 years. My people are sick today. 50% of my people's of deaths are abortion today. My people don't have the opportunities today, even to the point that because if JP Morgan had been nice to me and if Alex Klein and STEM player had been fair to me, different things, then I wouldn't even point it out that we don't have any black. We have two black engineers. So I have to have a responsibility obviously to all people, but specifically to my tribe. Because tribes

  35. And I play the top songs in the rap chart. I would tell you my people are sick. If I go to the restaurants and opportunity zones and we look at the calorie rating and the cholesterol, I will tell you that my people are sick. If we look at the obesity rate, if you go to just a restaurant somewhere in Middle America, Denny's or something, I went to Denny's the other day, you will see that my people are sick. And my people, meaning all people, right? But black people are very influential to all people. So, right, if so, if the media picks overweight black women and says this is body goals, then the media are influencing my people to stay sick. And it just so happens that that night, I was so frustrated after 20 years. That I had to call it out in one tweet that now.

  37. Well, well, watch this. I was building. Shelters I bought land in Calabasas and bought two ranches in Wyoming, three hundred acres in Calabasas, twelve thousand acres in total in Wyoming, and I started building ideas for shelters. And God set it on my heart to make monasteries, which would be modern day facilities that don't turn people down, that have farms. That have shelter, clothing. But first of all, water, first of all, knowledge, because knowledge is the most important resource to our species above water. Knowledge itself, because then you can go get water. I mean, you can argue, like if you're a baby, how do you eat water? But. But the baby doesn't have it. So someone with the knowledge then feeds the baby, the water. But it's important that those with the knowledge teach the baby how to find the water themselves and

You on the same as the other people You're doing the same thing that the other, let's say media, because I'm not allowed to say. Has done. So until somebody says

  41. Results are consistently. So that's where I get, you know, frustrated. It's like, let that go, let this person do what you made mistakes on. Don't make this person relive those same mistakes and then put that agenda into my daughters too.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  42. I mean, the world is becoming more and more transactional every day, and actually marriages are actually originally based on transactions. Know, and that's why they're less needed, the more autonomous as we come, or the world makes it less needed. I feel like we do need each other. I feel like we do need someone we can always, you know, count on. It's like, I'm yay, pulled away by King Koopa, which is the media, the politics, the promise, oh, we're going to keep you safe. So the thing, the reason why I get really frustrated with Chris Jenner is she says losing Rob Kardashian was the greatest mistake of her life, but she never gave Kim's hand over in marriage because this is the bottom line. When me and Kim met, we were millionaires or whatever, right? You're telling me you just hand her hand over in marriage that your daughter's not successful, handing your hand over in marriage to. But no, she had to still be the husband, to all of her daughters. And we see what the result.

  43. I trust God At any point a human being can, like I could like, if I go and like. Really treat this guy like a piece of shit or do this or that. Am I supposed to trust him to be loyal and stay in the situation? No, I trust people to be people and people are flawed. And people can have the right intentions, but it makes sense for us to work together when our agendas align. When Kim was pulled really far to the left, our agenda is no longer aligned so that made the marriage impossible in a line where it's like, oh, I could wear a red hat that can help her to get Alice Johnson out of jail because Trump's willing to do that for my wife because I was the only person in my position that stood up and said, wait a second, I like you, you know, because

  44. There's been some bad business done. There's some bad business practices, and we have to change that because this game is like boxing. More people end up retarded than rich. Now, I'm saying beat to a pope, driven crazy, beat by the media to a pope. Right now, the media has done everything they could to make me apologize and to make me look crazy. And that one person has done anything to find out why I was frustrated enough to do that tweet. And that's facts, and that's fucked up.

  45. Talk about that. Is it okay to call out collusion? Do people collude in your business under you, like the engineers, they come together and like say they collude against the bosses, right? You know why Bernardo No offered the deal and took it away from me? Collusion. Because I was too powerful with the collective that I had right there. He had to stop that at all costs. They said for whatever reason this kid, yea, it has the ability to have all of the Kardashians, JZ and Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Dimna Virgil, all these people in the same room working towards the same goal. I've been that person. Since preschool. That's called a leader, right? And right now, what I'm saying is. For the people in business, whatever their background is, whether they turn their cell phones off on Friday or not.

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

    2022-10-24 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #332 – Kanye ‘Ye’ West Interview · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  47. You not explain yourself, we don't care how you got to that point, you need to apologize, and you can't explain, and that's the end of the story.
