Kanye West wants you to put down your phone and read his tweets.
Or wait, maybe he wants you to read his tweets THEN put down your phone?
Either way, the Ye vs. The People rapper sounded off on cell phone addiction on Monday, encouraging his followers to use their phones like they would a hammer and “only pick it up if they needed it.”

From there, Ye pushed off into a lesson on consumerism. Sharing a link to a documentary about Edward Bernays, the so-called father of public relations and propaganda, Kim Kardashian West‘s husband explained how we no longer live in a time where Americans simply buy what they needed.
He’s right. It’s sad we can’t live with the bare necessities anymore. Food, water, several $800 pairs of Yeezys… you know, the essentials.
Read Kanye’s latest Twitter lesson (below):
Look at your phone as tool not an obligation. Would you walk around with a hammer in your pocket? You would pick up a hammer when you needed it you would never be addicted or obligated to it. Use your phone like a hammer only pick it up when you need it.

the century of self https://t.co/JVvJby2TFq It’s 4 hours long but you’ll get the gist in the first 20 minutes Basically Sigmund Frued’s nephew Edward Bernays capitalized off of his uncle’s philosophies and created modern day consumerism

before Edward Bernays Americans purchased things based off needs There was a a time in the 20s when women didn’t smoke in public so Edward Bernays masterminded a campaign to make it culturally acceptable so that companies could sell more cigarettes..it’s that kind of vibe..
