THE HANDBOOK OF KANYE WEST

 




Recently  I was reading some tweets written by Kanye West. It immediately reminded me of Epictetus Handbook.

 2018 was his prime time. He was just giving advice to people about life, creativity, our ideas, and how to master our inner genius. Honestly, it fascinates me. His philosophy is a mix a skepticism,  narcissicism and stoicism. 
For Kanye, the notion of negative and positive should'nt exist. People brings these abstract values to all type of  things because it conforts them, it forces them to think through one prism. 

Black & White. 
Good & Evil. 
Feminine & Masculine. 
Day & Night. 
Light & Darkness.




This dualist way of thinking kills our spirits and a part of us. We do not want to be seem like crazy if we ask ourselves that maybe, it's not totally black and white. Maybe it's grey, or pink.
In his book called "Beyong good and evil" , Nietzche said :
"There are no moral phenomena, only a moral interpretation of phenomena."

It's the same concept.  


Kanye didn't revolutionize anything by thinking like that. He justs represents the proof that a lot of things are based on a question of perception. Sometimes, the truth does not exist. When it's about ourselves ,the word  "truth" should not be an argument from authority. L'homme est perfectible. In fact, if you want to say that you're the best, who can stop you ? Definetly not an other human like you. 
This artist represents the art of being narcissistic. Again, the word narcissistic shouldn't be positive or negative, it just is. You should use it as a form of self-love. It allows you to see yourself as a genius, as a creative person, 


Don't even try to represent the idea of  yourself. The "yourself" is an other illusion. Be formless.
