Logo etymology
The term “logo” comes from the Greek word “logos,” which means “word” or “speech.” Over time, its application has broadened to encompass a range of meanings, including thought, speech, account, meaning, reason, proportion, principle, and logic, among others. In the context of branding and marketing, a logo is a symbol or design adopted by an organization to identify its products, uniform, vehicles, etc. It’s a visual representation that serves as a shorthand to convey the essence of a brand, company, or product.
The evolution of logos as a concept for branding purposes has roots in ancient times. Historical civilizations, such as the Egyptians, used hieroglyphs to signify ownership or origin. In the medieval era, craftsmen used marks to identify their work, a precursor to the modern trademark. By the 19th century, with the rise of industrial production and the subsequent need for differentiation in crowded marketplaces, logos became an essential part of corporate identity.
The modern logo’s purpose has expanded to embody the brand’s identity, values, and essence, conveying this to consumers through a mix of visual elements including typography, color, and imagery. This evolution reflects a shift from merely marking goods for trade to a more sophisticated role in branding and marketing strategies, aiming to create a memorable and recognizable symbol that fosters brand loyalty and conveys a desired image.

Objective vs Subjective
(13:49):
And I like that he said, he just kept on saying, 20 year anniversary, I’ve been doing this for 20 years. And his opening joke was so high level, I realized that I wasn’t funny. I realized that this dude is a professional at what he does. And so many things are subjective. I always talk about this. It’s like, you know, people are arguing like, is Emily Ratajkowski the hottest, you know, person? And I’m like, that’s such a subjective thing.

Family is Heaven
Ridley Scott
Ye (20:57):
Well, now I’ve gone past, I’m like at that place where Nikolai Tesla was later into his career where it wasn’t about being loved. It wasn’t about sitting at the dinner parties next to Anna Wintour and stuff. It was about getting the idea across. So I have these cells, that are very, and I just keep on saying Ridley Scott, but Ridley Scott has a special anointing.
We are gods iPhone —
Ye (22:50):
Yeah, I’m saying it’s 40,000 square feet, but that would be like- What are the other parts of the cell? Okay, so it’s a screen. It doesn’t go all the way to the top and it’s one hole for light, but the water and the light and air all come in from the top so that’s like the mouth. And then this is the belly button. We’re God’s iPhone. We’re his greatest creation.

Family is heaven. That’s the promised land. And for your family to be together. So say I smite the rock and God doesn’t let me have my family back. My mission in life is still to promote families at all costs and make family’s existence easier. So you take this thing, you put localized, a localized farm, say if it’s in community, that we do localized growing and then we partner with big pharma and all and say, hey, you’re actually gonna make more money by making better food.

Accurate historical representation Moses
Moses is a central figure in the Abrahamic religions, most notably Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revered as a prophet, leader, and lawgiver. His life and contributions are primarily recorded in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, especially in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Here are some key historical and religious facts about Moses:
- Early Life: According to the biblical narrative in Exodus, Moses was born in Egypt at a time when the Pharaoh had ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed to curb the population of the Israelites. To save him, Moses’ mother placed him in a basket and set him adrift on the Nile River. He was found and adopted by the Pharaoh’s daughter, growing up in the Egyptian court.
- Call to Leadership: Moses fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian slave master and encountered God in the form of a burning bush on Mount Horeb (also known as Mount Sinai). God commissioned him to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage.
- The Exodus: Moses, along with his brother Aaron, confronted Pharaoh to demand the release of the Israelites. After Pharaoh refused, Egypt was struck with ten plagues. The final plague, the death of the firstborns of Egypt, compelled Pharaoh to release the Israelites. This event is commemorated by Jews every year during the festival of Passover.
- Receiving the Law: After leading the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses ascended Mount Sinai, where he received the Ten Commandments, a set of religious and moral imperatives, from God. These commandments are foundational to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic ethical and religious conduct.
- The Wilderness: Moses led the Israelites through the wilderness for 40 years. During this time, he established the religious laws and rituals (as detailed in Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), and the Ark of the Covenant was built, which housed the Tablets of the Law.
- Death: Moses is traditionally believed to have died at the age of 120 on Mount Nebo in Moab after being shown the Promised Land, which he was not allowed to enter due to an earlier transgression against God.
- Historical Debate: The historicity of Moses and the events described in the Exodus narrative is a subject of debate among scholars. While there is little archaeological evidence to conclusively support the biblical account, Moses remains a figure of immense significance in religious traditions.
- Cultural and Religious Legacy: Moses is revered as a prophet in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, each adding its own perspectives and nuances to his story. In Christianity, Moses is seen as a precursor to Jesus Christ, while in Islam, Musa (Moses) is viewed as an important prophet who received the Tawrat (Torah) from Allah.
Moses’ life and legacy have had a profound impact on religious thought, law, ethics, and leadership, influencing not only religious traditions but also cultural and legal norms throughout history.
Moses history facts
The age of Moses, as described in the biblical narrative, spans a long and eventful life. According to the Book of Exodus in the Bible:
- Moses at the time of the Exodus: Moses was 80 years old when he spoke to Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelites, demanding their release from slavery (Exodus 7:7).
- Moses at the time of his death: Moses died at the age of 120 years, just before the Israelites entered the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 34:7).
These ages are significant as they underscore Moses’ enduring legacy of leadership and faith. His life is divided into three 40-year periods, each marked by distinct phases:
- His early years in Egypt,
- His time in Midian, and
- His leadership of the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness.
The portrayal of Moses as living to 120 years old also serves to emphasize his righteousness and the favor he found with God, as his longevity exceeds the average lifespan of the time.

The images depict Moses with features that reflect Semitic ethnic characteristics, which are consistent with the people historically associated with the region from which Moses originates. This includes dark hair, a beard, and a complexion that aligns with Middle Eastern heritage. His attire and physical appearance are designed to be historically plausible for an individual living in the Late Bronze Age, a period roughly spanning from 1550 to 1200 BCE in the Middle Eastern and Northeast African regions.
As for age, the depiction aims to show Moses as an aged man, embodying the wisdom and life experience attributed to him during the period of leading the Israelites out of Egypt, as described in biblical narratives. This choice reflects a common portrayal of Moses as a venerable leader, often depicted at an advanced age during the key events of the Exodus.

JEW VS “JEWISH�
Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio —
(29:26):
And that’s the reason why the media goes and gets, you know, Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski. Those are the only ones I’m gonna… There’s more? There’s more, but I’m thinking of the ones that I think are attractive. It is subjective. Yeah, because it’s subjective. So to my subjective, which I think, I think the only guys that could argue with me on my opinion on girls would be Brad and Leo, because we’re the only ones with the track record, you know, everything else. So for everybody else, it’s subjective. We’ve got history. So… Are you happy?
Ye (33:11):
We’re still in the Holocaust. A friend, a Jewish friend of mine said, come, go visit the Holocaust Museum. And my response was, let’s visit our Holocaust Museum, Planned Parenthood.
The lost tribe of Israel — followers of Moses
Ye (33:52):
Because six million, well also, African Americans are actually Jew also. The lost tribe of Israel. I can push back on that too. Okay, so.
Ye (34:10):
So. We’re human. Six million people died in the Holocaust. Over 20 million have died by the hands of abortion. And the media promotes the My Body, My Choice, which is actually still a promotion for Planned Parenthood. 50% of black deaths a year is actually abortion. It’s not the cop with the knee. It’s not black on black violence and gang violence. It’s not heart attacks. It’s actually abortion. The most dangerous place for a black person in America is in their mother’s stomach.
Black trauma economy —
Ye (35:10):
That’s what we deal with on our TVs right now with black people. Soros would use black trauma economy to win an election. What I love is having a healthy conversation and as opposed to, there’s certain things, you know, boom, this drops, people are gonna have pussy hats on. Boom. This drops, it’s gonna be black people and white people with signs. Boom, this drops. So, hey, China, hey, left agenda, hey. What we’re gonna do is say that our species can have a healthy conversation.
Ye (36:32):
I know. If Jewish people would accept that I’m Jew, then they would see what I’m saying in a different way. They would hear it in a different way. But see, the people, you saying you’re Jewish, that- No, I’m Jew, not Jewish. Jewish means like that of a Jew. I’m saying I’m Jew. You’re a Jew. Blood of Christ, Orthodox Christian.

CIA and Pixar and Disney films involvement
Speculations about CIA involvement or influence in Hollywood films often revolve around movies that depict espionage, national security, or military themes. While direct involvement is difficult to prove without concrete evidence, there are films where the U.S. government or military has acknowledged providing support, advice, or resources. This involvement is usually aimed at ensuring accurate representations of military operations, equipment, or procedures, rather than exerting covert influence. Below are examples of films and genres that have historically attracted speculation about government involvement:
Military and War Movies
- “Top Gun” (1986): This film received support from the U.S. Navy, which provided access to aircraft and carriers, helping to boost the Navy’s image and recruitment efforts. Such cooperation often leads to speculation about the extent of the military’s influence on the film’s content.
- “Zero Dark Thirty” (2012): This film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden sparked controversy and speculation due to its portrayal of torture and the extent of access the filmmakers had to classified material.
Espionage and Thrillers
- Films that depict CIA operations or espionage, such as the “Bourne” series, often lead to speculation about whether they reflect real tactics or scenarios and if there’s any advisory role played by intelligence professionals.
Political Dramas
- Movies like “Argo” (2012), which is based on a declassified CIA operation, also generate discussion about the relationship between Hollywood and the CIA, particularly regarding the portrayal of historical events and operations.
Science Fiction and World Events
- Even science fiction films or films with global disaster themes, such as “Independence Day” or “The Day After Tomorrow,” can attract speculation about government influence, particularly regarding how these films might reflect or shape public perceptions of national security, alien life, or climate change.
Documentaries
- Documentaries that delve into sensitive or controversial topics might also be speculated upon for having government influence or censorship, especially if they touch upon issues related to national security or intelligence.
It’s important to note that while the U.S. government, military, and intelligence agencies have at times worked closely with Hollywood, the extent of their influence varies widely. In many cases, their involvement is transparent and focused on logistical support or ensuring accurate representations of military or intelligence operations. Assertions or speculations about covert influence or manipulation of content by agencies like the CIA often lack solid evidence and should be approached critically. The line between influence, consultation, and the creative independence of filmmakers can be complex and nuanced, contributing to ongoing debates about the relationship between the entertainment industry and government entities.
The connection between the CIA and companies like Pixar and Disney often emerges in discussions about the influence of government agencies on popular media and culture. However, it’s important to distinguish between verified facts and speculative or theoretical connections.
Disney and the U.S. Government
The relationship between Disney and various U.S. government entities, including the military and intelligence agencies, is well-documented, particularly during the World War II era. Disney produced numerous training, propaganda, and educational films for the U.S. military and other government departments. This collaboration was part of a broader effort by the U.S. government to utilize media and entertainment for public information and morale during wartime. Disney’s involvement with the government extended into the Cold War period as well, with themes in its movies and TV shows sometimes reflecting anti-communist sentiments, which were prevalent in American society and politics at the time.
Pixar
Pixar, originally a computer division of Lucasfilm, was acquired by Steve Jobs in 1986 and later became a powerhouse in animated movies after its partnership with Disney, leading to its eventual acquisition by Disney in 2006. There’s no widely recognized public evidence of direct involvement by the CIA or other intelligence agencies with Pixar similar to the historical collaboration between Disney and the U.S. government during World War II and the Cold War.
Speculation and Conspiracy Theories
Speculation about the CIA’s involvement with film studios and entertainment companies often arises within the context of broader conspiracy theories about the government’s influence on media and popular culture. While it’s true that the U.S. government has historically engaged with Hollywood to produce propaganda or promote certain messages (e.g., anti-drug campaigns), claims about specific movies or studios require careful scrutiny. Direct involvement of the CIA in the creative process of companies like Pixar and Disney, beyond general cultural or thematic influence, is not supported by concrete evidence.
It’s crucial to rely on verified information and credible sources when discussing the potential influence of government agencies on entertainment media. While the historical relationship between Disney and the U.S. government during specific periods is an established fact, broader assertions about ongoing influence or specific interventions in movies produced by Pixar or Disney should be approached with caution and skepticism unless substantiated by reliable evidence.
Ye (37:40):
And then what did I say we shouldn’t focus on? Race. Not just that. I said they shouldn’t teach this in school. History. The history because what they do, what schools are doing is exactly what the CIA does with Pixar films and Disney films. They make Bambi’s mom die in the beginning, right? And off that pain comes a purchase of ice cream. Off that pain comes, I need some more toys. Off that pain comes, I need a bigger house. Off that pain comes, I need more girls than my wife. Off that pain comes, so they put that pain in to make us, now we’re the orphans of capitalism, to make us be consumers. And we need to be a community, not just consumers. So I could have went another seven minutes by being a person who presents himself in a way that says, well, I don’t have to feel your pain because I also have pain too that’s not being recognized. And in every interview, when I say, well, why did I get to the point of putting up the tweet?

Soros’s investment philosophy is based on the concept of reflexivity, which posits that market prices and economic activity are influenced by the perceptions of traders and investors, rather than being solely determined by economic fundamentals. This approach underlines Soros’s belief in the inherent unpredictability and potential for speculative opportunities in financial markets.
Although specific details about the Quantum Fund’s current worth are not readily available, Soros Fund Management’s disclosed portfolio value and investment picks give a glimpse into the strategic direction of Soros’s investment activities as of the third quarter of 2023. This strategic direction includes a focus on companies with strong potential for growth and innovation, as well as investments that reflect Soros’s long-standing interest in economic dynamics and market reflexivity.
Quantum fund worth and what owns
As of my last update in April 2023, the exact net worth of the Quantum Fund, the hedge fund founded by George Soros, is not publicly disclosed. The Quantum Fund, established in 1973, became one of the most successful hedge funds in history, achieving substantial annual returns for its investors over several decades. Soros made a significant portion of his fortune through the management of this fund, most notably in 1992, when he famously “broke the Bank of England” by short-selling $10 billion worth of British pounds, earning him a profit of $1 billion in a single day.
The Quantum Fund’s investments have been diverse, spanning a wide range of assets including stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities across the world. Soros Fund Management, which managed the Quantum Fund, has shifted its focus over time in response to global economic conditions, regulatory changes, and the investment philosophy of George Soros and his team. In recent years, the firm has also been noted for taking significant positions in technology companies, healthcare, and renewable energy, among other sectors.
However, specific details about the current holdings of the Quantum Fund or its exact size are not typically made public, as the fund operates with a high degree of privacy and discretion, common among hedge funds. Moreover, Soros Fund Management has evolved over the years, and it has been reported that the firm converted its operations to manage the personal wealth of the Soros family, rather than functioning as a traditional hedge fund open to outside investors.
For the most current and detailed information about the Quantum Fund’s worth and its holdings, one would need to consult financial databases, regulatory filings (to the extent they are available), or official statements from Soros Fund Management, keeping in mind that the most recent and specific details might not be publicly accessible.
â€Open Societyâ€?
As of the current date, George Soros is 93 years old.
George Soros is known for his insights on investing, finance, politics, and society. Here are some notable quotes attributed to him:
- On financial markets: “Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux, and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.”
- On fallibility: “The more complex the system, the more open it is to total breakdown.”
- On open societies: “The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.”
- On making mistakes: “I’m only rich because I know when I’m wrong… I basically have survived by recognizing my mistakes.”
- On philanthropy and his motivations: “My success in the financial markets has given me a greater degree of independence than most other people. This allows me to take a stand on controversial issues: in fact, it obliges me to do so because others cannot.”
- On investing and markets: “It’s not whether you’re right or wrong, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong.”
- On change and disruption: “Unfortunately, the more complex the system, the greater the room for error.”
- On democracy: “Democracy is in crisis around the world, and the need to revive it is more acute than ever.”
- On his philosophy: “I give away my money not because I love mankind, but because I love the idea of mankind.”
These quotes reflect Soros’s views on economics, his philosophical approach to investments, his commitment to philanthropy, and his belief in the importance of democracy and open societies.
Yes, George Soros is of Jewish heritage. He was born into a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary. During World War II, Soros and his family survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary by securing false identity papers and concealing their Jewish background. This period had a profound impact on Soros and his views on society, philanthropy, and the importance of fighting against authoritarianism and promoting democracy and human rights around the world.
George Soros is a Hungarian-American billionaire investor, philanthropist, and political activist. Born on August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary, Soros survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary during World War II before emigrating to England, where he graduated from the London School of Economics. He later moved to the United States, where he established his hedge fund, which eventually became the Quantum Fund, one of the world’s most successful funds, making him one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet.
Soros is well-known not just for his investment prowess but also for his significant philanthropic efforts through the Open Society Foundations, which he founded. These foundations work globally to support the values of open society, democracy, and human rights in more than 100 countries. Soros has contributed billions of dollars to various causes, including education, public health, and support for democracy and human rights around the world.
He is also a notable figure in politics, particularly for his funding of progressive and liberal political causes, making him a polarizing figure in political discussions. Soros has been a vocal critic of authoritarian regimes and has supported legalizing marijuana, reforming criminal justice systems, and promoting equal rights, among other social issues.
Despite his philanthropic and political activities, Soros is a contentious figure, often targeted by conspiracy theories and criticism, especially from political conservatives and authoritarian regimes who see his advocacy for open societies as a threat to their power.

Kanye West Lex Fridman Interview
Moses
(39:37):
With Africans, how many times have you heard like a rapper or talk about, we were kings? That’s incorrect if we’re Jew. If we’re Jew, and since we are, we weren’t the kings. We were the slaves that Moses freed. Africans have always said, we’ve heard, you’ve listened to rap music and hear black people say, we kings, we blood of the pharaohs. And if we are Jew, then we weren’t.
(40:13):
We were the people that Moses freed. And when we talk about, have you heard black people talk about 400 years of slavery? Mm-hmm. All right. That is, and we’re having this history lesson, right?
Ye (41:26):
I’m not disagreeing that that happened. I’m disagreeing that we need to harp on the things that happened because the truth is, I’m giving a fact, 50% today of let’s say you don’t call black people Jew, right? Black people’s deaths today is abortion today right now. Like that, it’s not racism.
(41:54):
That’s too wide of a term. It’s genocide and population control that black people are in today in America that is promoted by the music and the media that black people make that Jewish record labels get paid off of or media companies, record labels and media company also. So let’s give it a wider.
(44:05):
Then they immediately say, he’s off of his shit, he’s off his meds, he’s off of his rocker. And it’s literally used as a scarlet letter control mechanism for the- People understand, the kids, the colleges, the high schools, what do you think they put me right now? They put me as the prophet, not the leader. It doesn’t have to be the leader, right? Cause we need a more intelligent person to be the leader, but at least, right? They put me as the prophet. They put me as the only person that would say this. And I’m just saying that was four Jewish members that controlled my voice because for the fact that 90% of black people in entertainment from sports to music to acting are in some way tied into Jewish business people. Meaning that in some way, just like if Rom is sitting next to Obama or Jared sitting next to Trump, there’s a Jewish person right there controlling the country, the Jewish controlling that, who gets the best video or not, controlling what the media says about me.
Ye (48:10):
So that’s escalated quickly. So the, no I’m saying, where’s our apology? But right, we can’t get to apology because you’re telling me there’s no right way for me to word it. So tell me, for me, a person who’s been fucked on my deals and a person that has friends that never figured out how to make shoes with a German company that couldn’t tell me to wear a BLM shirt and take off my red hat. Like what would have happened if I was at Nike? Right.
Ye (49:26):
I have ran a record label. Well, I’ve been ran by a record label where I was the face of a record label and had Big Sean and different people complaining to me. And I knew fuck about running a record label. I was simply just a talented producer and an influencer that then started good music. But I wasn’t the one running good music. How would you do it differently? This is something I propose. I would look at the top 10 execs and three fields in sports, film and music. And I would look at the top 10 clients participant, talent.
19 music industry:
(50:26):
And we’ll compare the notes and re-engineer like it’s a new constitution. Because when I told my dad when I was 19 that I was going to get into the music industry, he begged me not to. He said, I heard it’s treacherous.
Ye (51:12):
That’s the whole point Howard Stern. Nobody wants to kiss your dick, so shut the fuck up. I said, and by the way, I’m antagonizing you Howard Stern. I used to be a fan of you.
Ye (51:22):Now you’re just doing clickbait like everybody else. Now you’re just a sad old man, Howard. Now Howard Stern, this is the first time anyone’s said your name in years. Your own family doesn’t say your name unless they’re calling to get their bills paid.
(53:19):
Let me go to this. You said this was a sorry apology. I was very specific. I said the Jewish, because by the way, it’s a barrage. It’s a thing where I don’t even remember the names at a certain point. It’s like, if a girl was getting raped by men, if that person’s not 18, and she was getting raped since 14, and she still got this face, this super like Irena-shaped level face. She might say, I hate men. That woman may say, I hate men. She might get to that point because she was raped.
(54:01):
All my contracts, and no one can say this is ramped up. Howard Stern can’t say this is ramped up. Ari Emanuel can’t say this is ramped up. George Soros knows damn well that I’m not ramped up. George Soros knows like, wow, this guy’s like a younger guy that’s looking at what I did and looking at how I control the world silently. And he’s calling it out. And he’s not using any of the fear tactics.
Philosopher leader
(54:27):
I can’t send his homeboys around him. I can’t send his wife to him. This guy, that’s what George Soros sees when he’s dealing with me. So what you guys are actually asking me to do, I’m comparing myself to that 18-year-old beautiful woman that had been mistreated by men for four years of her life. And you’re saying, as a man, you can’t blame all men. And I’m saying, as a responsible forward philosopher leader, okay, I’ll drop the pain and I will specify because I’m a peer.
Pain
The left is China? The left talks like how China wants to talk?
(55:08):
I lost my fucking family. I lost my kids. I lost my best friend in fashion. I lost the black community. I lost, you know, people said I lost my mind. All of these things, lost my reputation. And I’m a peer just like, I just want my family, but I don’t want my family to have to say what the left wants us to say, to have to say what China wants us to say. I want to be an American and protect my kids and protect my wife and raise my kids as Christians and have my wife be a Christian and innovate. And America made rock and roll. I want to innovate as a creative person and be a successful American. But all of that had been taken away from me. So I’m coming back and I’m removing the PSTD right now. I’m standing up and saying the only way that we’re going to be able to get past this and the way God is going to use me right now is for me to stop talking about the pain, stop talking about what happened and do something about it. And that’s where I’m at right now in this moment. Like, yeah, people agree. At least there was something where you could say, he has a reason of why he got to that tweet. And what you’re doing for me today is saying, yo, that was a sorry apology and let’s specify. I’m not asking for anyone out here to empathize or sympathize for a dude worth $11 billion that can make money disappear, I mean, appear out of thin air in five different industries. You know, I’m not asking for anybody to sympathize with someone who’s married to Kim Kardashian, dated Irene, but like, I feel like I’m just not going to get the sympathy vote in this situation, right? So- I feel your pain. I feel your pain. I feel your pain. I feel your pain. I feel your pain.
Japan
Samurai — 2 months, go on top of the mountain
Ye (59:10):
Well, at that point, it’s like, they’re trying to put me in jail or put a friend of mine in jail because then I’m going to go surround the hotel and do all, you know, do something which would have me not be able to be here. And instead I walked away from that situation. I went to Japan for two months. And instead I walked away from that situation. I went to Japan, like the samurai that I am, and went to the top of the mountain. And, because I knew that, I mean, I knew there was no way she could love this dude. Not just because he’s ugly, he’s not black. She likes black guys. Every guy that she, you know, is with looks exactly the same. Ray J, Reggie Bush, at that time Kanye West, she has a type. Just like how I have a type. Like a lot of my girls look kind of similar to her because in a video game character, people have their type, right? So I knew that this was like…
Stem player —
Ye (01:06:56):
Also.. It’s God’s plan. There’s a lot of things that open up. Let me tell you something that opened up. There’s a guy, like I told you, that was running stem player, who I’ve had issues with, we hadn’t got paid on time, certain things, right? And he took his IQ, his know-how, his engineering know-how to, he basically was trying to Adidas me with, even though I was the bigger money in the situation, that was fun, and we funded together. And he hired these engineers, and he said, well, because of your comments, we’re not gonna be able to hire anybody else. And I was like, well, how many Jewish people do we have in our company? He said, I don’t know. He didn’t say exactly, right? I said, do we have black people? He said, yes.
(01:07:39):
I said, how many? He said, two. So we have like 60 full-time employees, like 40 half-time and part-time. And I took as a responsibility, let’s take a step back from us being one species and say, hey, you’re Jewish, I’m black, right? Why step back? For this example, for the sake of this example. And I said, wow, I’m sure I can hire more than two black engineers. And what happens is, because there are so many businessmen that just so happen to be Jewish, that it’s good business, right? Just to monopolize. That’s what people are looking. Everybody wants to be Elon, right? So, the- I disagree with that. Okay, well, let me finish this point. I’m gonna let you finish, I’m gonna let you finish. A lot of businessmen want to be as successful as Elon and as popular as Elon, a lot. I could just word it like that, which I hate the term a lot, actually. I want to be more specific, but I haven’t done the math on it. Let’s say some.
Legally *cannot* speak?
(01:10:56):
It ain’t, no, we’re not gonna bring you down. We have this on you. You get what I’m saying? If I had ever killed someone, if I wasn’t the bitch with the pink polo on, I wouldn’t be able to be the vocal man that I am today. You understand what I’m saying? This is the reason why I’m happy that my gangster disciple brothers kept me from the initiations, which made me feel like a pussy my whole life, right? But now I am someone who legally can say this. Other people in my position, they legally cannot speak.
(01:13:60):
And then I came back with Yeezy, with Adidas. And this fashion show was so popular that Justin Bieber had to sit in the second row, right? This thing had every name you could think of. It had Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner.
Kanye, the philosopher —
(01:14:13):
It was Kylie’s first fashion show she’d been in. And in the second fashion show, I put Kylie and Bella Hadid next to each other in the fashion show. You had Puff Daddy. At that time, Puff Daddy had beef with Drake. Drake still came to the show and Jay-Z had to break up the fight backstage. The designers, you had Jerry Lorenzo, that’s head of Fear God. You had Kim Schrab, head of Skims. You have Virgil Abloh, head of Louis Vuitton. You had Demna, head of Balenciaga, all working for Yee, for the leader, for the philosopher, right? For the person that put, who put this together? Me, that’s who, right? You had these people working for the king of New York, basically the boss, Yee, right? You had Jay-Z in the audience, Rihanna in the audience, Beyonce in the audience, sitting next to Anna Wintour in this audience. And guess who heard wind of this?
Deal
(01:15:15):
One of the richest men in the world, Bernard Arnault, caught wind of this. What’s going on? They’re building up something and we need to stop it. So then he met with me and politely offered me backing for my clothing line. It would be Kanye West, they would get 49%, 51%, I would get 49%. They’d have control. And they were going to give me all of the support from Louis Vuitton. So I had to go to Adidas and I told Adidas, Hey, let’s indemnify the apparel.
(01:16:54):
I went back and told my high maintenance wife, I was supposed to become this designer at Louis Vuitton or the Louis Vuitton group was going to back the Kanye West line. Cause that’s how good I’ve done in fashion, babe. And now the deal has dropped. Now the deal has dropped. So then I did a second collection and we didn’t have any support to be able to build the collection. Then I went and found a third collection. We did it. We took over MSG. Fourth collection went and the show started an hour late.
â€You need to make more moneyâ€â€” do 4 more shows:
(01:17:26):
Then a week later, Kim got robbed. Then I told Scooter Braun, my manager at that time, I say, I’m looking, you know, I need to go to Japan. I’m tired. I’m tired. He says, no, you need to make more money. Do four more shows on a second leg of the tour. And I suffer from exhaustion and go to the hospital and then get diagnosed with a disorder. This is the first time I ever suffered from exhaustion. By the way, I haven’t been to the hospital since.

History bone marrow consumption and mythology
The consumption of bone marrow has deep historical roots and is steeped in both cultural practices and mythology across various civilizations. This practice dates back to prehistoric times and continues in many cultures today, highlighting its importance not just as a food source but also in traditional and mythological contexts.
Prehistoric Times
- Early Human Diets: Archaeological evidence shows that early humans consumed bone marrow at least 2.5 million years ago. The use of tools to crack open bones for accessing marrow suggests its value as a highly nutritious food source. Marrow would have been a prized component of the diet, providing essential fats, proteins, and calories necessary for survival.
- Symbol of Abundance and Fertility: In some ancient cultures, bone marrow was symbolically linked to life and fertility due to its rich, life-sustaining nutrients and its location within the bones, themselves symbols of strength and structure.
Historical Contexts
- Culinary Traditions: Many traditional cuisines around the world have dishes that include bone marrow. For example, in European cuisine, marrow is used in broths, soups, and as a spread. In Asian and African cuisines, it’s often cooked within stews or roasted to be eaten directly from the bone.
- Medicinal Uses: In traditional medicine practices, including those of Indigenous peoples and in Ayurveda, bone marrow has been used to support healing and overall health. It was believed to strengthen bones, improve vitality, and aid in the recovery from illness.
Mythology and Symbolism
- Symbol of Life and Vitality: In many mythologies, bones and marrow are seen as the essence of life. For instance, in Norse mythology, the creation of humans is described with the gods giving them marrow among other elements, symbolizing the imparting of life and vitality.
- Metaphorical Significance: Bones and marrow often symbolize the innermost self or the soul in literary and mythological contexts. They represent the core of existence, sometimes associated with immortality and the spiritual realm.
Modern Interpretations
- Continued Culinary Appreciation: Today, bone marrow remains a delicacy in many cultures, appreciated for its rich, buttery flavor and nutritional value. It’s also seen as a connection to culinary heritage and traditional food practices.
- Sustainable Eating: There’s a growing interest in using the whole animal in cooking, including bone marrow, as part of a sustainable and ethical approach to meat consumption. This practice reduces waste and honors the animal by making use of all its parts.
The consumption of bone marrow spans the practical to the sacred, reflecting its nutritional value as well as its deep symbolic and cultural significance. Its role in human history, from survival food to a modern delicacy and symbol in mythology, underscores the complex relationship humans have with food and its meanings beyond mere sustenance.

ChatGPT doesn’t know shit about nutrition!
Labeling bone marrow as “the most nutritious food of all time” is an overstatement, as the nutritional value of a food can vary greatly depending on individual dietary needs, cultural preferences, and health objectives. Bone marrow is indeed highly nutritious, offering a rich source of fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, collagen, and various vitamins and minerals. However, its nutritional profile is highly specific and may not be ideally balanced for everyone’s dietary needs.
Nutrition is multifaceted, and no single food can provide all the nutrients the body needs in the perfect ratios. A diverse and balanced diet is crucial for optimal health. Here’s a broader perspective on considering the nutritional value of foods:
- Diverse Nutrient Profile: While bone marrow is rich in certain nutrients, it lacks others, such as carbohydrates, fiber, and a wider variety of vitamins and minerals found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These components are essential for overall health, including digestive health, metabolic function, and chronic disease prevention.
- Essential Amino Acids: High-quality protein sources that contain all nine essential amino acids are crucial for body repair, muscle growth, and enzyme production. While bone marrow contains protein, other sources like meat, fish, dairy, and legumes are often more practical and balanced sources of essential amino acids.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants necessary for immune function, energy production, and protection against oxidative stress.
- Dietary Fiber: Bone marrow contains no fiber, an essential nutrient found in plant-based foods that aids in digestion, blood sugar regulation, and cholesterol management.
- Caloric Density vs. Nutrient Density: While bone marrow is nutrient-dense, its high caloric and fat content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially considering the dietary needs and health goals of the individual.
In conclusion, bone marrow can be a valuable part of a balanced diet, especially for those who appreciate its taste and texture and can integrate it into their meals in a healthy way. However, the most nutritious diet is one that includes a wide variety of foods to ensure a comprehensive intake of all necessary nutrients. Nutrition should be personalized, and what is “most nutritious” can vary widely from person to person.

Bone marrow as the most nutritious food of all time?
Bone marrow is a nutrient-dense food, often considered a delicacy in many cuisines around the world. It’s rich in various nutrients and has been part of the human diet for millennia. Here’s an overview of its nutritional profile per 100 grams:
- Calories: Bone marrow is calorie-dense, providing about 786 calories per 100 grams, mainly due to its high fat content.
- Fat: It contains about 84 grams of fat per 100 grams, with a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats. This includes beneficial monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
- Protein: Bone marrow has about 7 grams of protein per 100 grams. While not a high-protein source, it’s a complete protein, containing all essential amino acids.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Bone marrow is a good source of vitamin B12, iron, and phosphorus. It also contains smaller amounts of other nutrients, including zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, K2, and E. Vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve function and blood formation, while iron is essential for carrying oxygen in the blood.
- Collagen and Glycine: Bone marrow contains collagen, the protein that provides structure to skin, bones, and connective tissue. When cooked, collagen breaks down into gelatin, which can help support joint health. Glycine, an amino acid found in bone marrow (and the gelatin derived from it), supports the body’s production of glutathione, a key antioxidant, and can promote better sleep and gut health.
Bone marrow can be roasted, spread on toast, used to make broths, or added to soups and stews to enrich flavor and nutritional value. Given its nutritional profile, bone marrow can be a valuable addition to diets focusing on nutrient density and traditional foods.

Spite
The word “spite” has undergone a notable semantic shift over time. Originally derived from the Old French “spite” or “espite,” meaning “ill will” or “malice,” and rooted in the Latin “spÄ«tem,” the accusative form of “spes,” meaning “hope,” its journey from a concept of positive anticipation to one of negativity is intriguing.
In its earliest English usage, “spite” retained the sense of animosity or malice as inherited from Old French. The transformation from “hope” in Latin to “malice” in Old French and then to English suggests a complex evolution of the word’s connotations, possibly influenced by social and psychological aspects of human interaction. Over time, “spite” in English came to specifically denote actions taken or feelings held to hurt, annoy, or offend, often driven by petty motives or without regard for self-harm that might result.
This shift from a positive to a negative meaning is not unique in the history of language but is a fascinating example of how words can evolve to capture different aspects of human emotions and social relations. The current meaning of “spite” as a deliberate desire to harm or upset someone, often out of a petty or vindictive spirit, reflects this journey. It encapsulates not just the act of malice but also the nuanced interpersonal dynamics and the complex motives behind such actions, highlighting how language adapts to the changing landscape of human emotions and social interactions.
The word “spite” comes from the Old French word “spite” or “espite,” which means “ill will” or “malice.” This, in turn, originates from the Latin “spÄ«tem,” the accusative form of “spes,” meaning “hope.” The transition from “hope” to “malice” in meaning is an interesting example of how the connotations of words can shift dramatically over time. The usage of “spite” in English to denote a desire to harm or annoy someone out of malice has been present since the late Middle Ages. Its application reflects a nuanced aspect of human emotions, capturing the intent to act with malice or ill will, often in a petty or vindictive manner. This etymology not only highlights the word’s historical origins but also its evolution in capturing complex interpersonal dynamics.
