Kanye West envisions a "Coliseum for God" with 100,000 gospel singers and imitates the sound of 100,000 people singing "glory, glory" in unison.
I've just clipped out one section of this podcast, so please listen to the end of my cut. There's some great stuff about running everything on water and how we would all be happy by now if Edison had not defeated Tesla:

Kanye 2020 Vision Double Layered Hoodie™ - $160 Buy a funny hat at the same time and save $20!
My second choice for president, I guess.
If we had ranked-choice voting, he just might win.
Anyone who gives airtime to this man is just exploiting someone who is either mentally ill or metally retarded. I refuse to be a spectator.
"Alternative current". Just like fishdicks.
2024, Lurker21. And don't be sexist. He'd also make a great 1st Man.
I tried. I really tried. But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t make it to the end.
Joe Rogan is just letting him talk and talk. Joe is treating him differently from every other guest. It's not a conversation, just one man riffing, like it's his solo podcast.
i think kanye is awake in the best sense of the word, it's a better focus then his previous preoccupations,
"Joe Rogan is just letting him talk and talk. Joe is treating him differently from every other guest. It's not a conversation, just one man riffing, like it's his solo podcast."
Because Joe knows what entertainment is.
Kanye is best when he riffs.
Mental illness or no, a good interviewer like Rogan knows when to loosen the reins.
Hannity could learn a thing or two.
"Joe Rogan is just letting him talk and talk. Joe is treating him differently from every other guest. It's not a conversation, just one man riffing, like it's his solo podcast."
In that brief cut to Rogan the expression on his face left me wondering just what he was thinking about all this.
"Kanye is best when he riffs."
Maybe this is the source of the Trump / Kanye rapport. While coming from very different perspectives and directions, they both talk a lot alike.
Liberals really hate Edison. Not sure why. Guess he was too American for them.
Some of it kind of makes sense. Then he veers sharply off and I wonder if he's stopped making sense or if he's just too visionary for me to get it. I'm tempted to believe that his thinking isn't as rational as it needs to be for a large project like that, but I'm trying to be open to the idea that, if I don't understand something, maybe it's me.
I don't get Scott Adams' stiffie for Kanye. He's harmless but insane.
I envision a Coliseum where gospel singers fight to the death.

Not entirely true; Rogan did the same thing with David Lee Roth. It was a 3 hour podcast and Joe had about 5 mins total talk time, the rest of it was Roth's stream of consciousness ramblings. I guess you've just got to treat some guest that way.
Edison had not defeated Tesla
I thought Tesla/Westinghouse won the main battle with their AC vs the DC of a white guy named Edison.
Why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes?
I have been listening to it in the background most of the morning. There is certainly more to West than I thought. I wouldn't want him as a president, but he would be far superior to Joe Biden on pretty much any dimension.
And I thought Fernandinande- is right- Tesla was AC and Edison was DC, which is pretty much the only battle that mattered to society as a whole.
DC local, AC remote, grid scale with cause.
That said, color doesn't, principles matter.
I enjoyed the rambling pipe dreams of Ye while putting up shelves. Joe gave him the kids glove treatment, for sure. He is a crazy genius. God speaks to him direct, but he doesn't understand the burning bush thing.
University of Notre Dame football stadium can hold over 80,000 people when there's no virus. Is that close enough to a Coliseum for God?
I'm non-religious; but Kanye's dream is less frightening to me than the dreams of "liberals:" millions singing "Glory, Glory,Glory" to The State.
I grabbed a pen and paper at the start of the interview because I just knew there would be something noteworthy.
Twelve pages of notes and hours later I was impressed.
Around 2:20 minutes he said, "I'm existing in the future, visiting the now."
That.
At two minutes in he said, "I'm existing in the future, visiting the now."
or did I already say that?
Seems like a perfect example of an intelligent person who has a zillion ideas running through his head, but can't focus to get them organized to a point of execution. I've read that hi is bi-polar, and this interview kind of illustrates that.
Re: Tesla and the voltage wars, ironically just as Tesla's name has become famous again, DC has made a significant comeback. It's always been known that DC theoretically offers lower transmission losses, but AC transformers were much cheaper and more reliable, plus AC works great for simple motors like those used in home appliances. As semiconductor science has advanced, voltage conversion has become a lot easier and high-voltage DC has continued to grow in popularity. China put a system online last year that runs at 1100 Kv. A side benefit is that the voltage converters also act to isolate the grids on each end.
Also, almost every new consumer device invented since 1975 or so comes with a wall wart to convert AC to DC. Technology has a sense of irony at times.
I've never paid much attention to Kanye, but in this interview he is very charismatic.
