Kanye West considers words to be the ‘lowest form of communication’

[Guest]

As an artist, West knows there are many ways to transmit an idea. Music, body language, and symbols are all effective ways to communicate, even though our first instinct is usually to use spoken language. According to West, however, words should be our last choice. 

“I think words are one of the lowest forms of communication,” he told GQ. “Music, sound, food, dancing are all nonverbal forms of communication. We get so wrapped up into words. We got to make things speechless. We have to make things to the level where no one can say anything.”

This may sound like a crazy idea, but West is already practicing communication without words in his everyday life. Instead, he’s using his music, clothing, and even architectural choices to communicate ideas. And then there are other, less traditional methods, like beeping and swapping memories, which West is experimenting with, as well. 

West envisions a world where ideas are communicated in other ways, and he’s starting that transition already with the way he interacts with those around him. 

“The greatest freedom is to challenge the vernacular,” West said, before explaining an example of how he’s making that change in his own communication. When he came across Matt Williams, an Alyx designer, in a hotel lobby, it gave West the perfect opportunity to create an alternative exchange. 

“Right when I saw him, I started communicating in, like, beep sounds,” he said, likening the discussion to the beginning of a Bobby Digital song. It’s unclear whether Williams understood the beeps, but when asked if he beeped back, West said their conversation transitioned into yet another form of communication.

he’s not wrong imo. communication that can occur thru just one look, graze of the collar bone, breath, pass of the lips on another’s, knee pressed against another’s, hands moving through your hair, undoing just one button.... 

wait what was the topic again

i think he means you can understand so much just by looking at sometimes choice of house style and design decor...i don’t know why he’s getting dragged for this 

[Giorno Giovanna 3,178]

Well he isn't wrong, his nonverbal communication tells me that he is a pretentious "woke" idiot

[Lisseth 427]

Well, he's right 

I used to think that they were dumb ideas but I've discovered myself it was a fact.

God save Kanye

Which is exactly why I'm concerned. 

No dragging. Just concern.

He's slowly transitionning into another realm of music making that's never been done before, not even Bethoven could think of that. So stay tuned for some beeping sounds soon !

great

stop singing

Yes other forms of communication exist and can be more effective in situations like a look between two people who understand each other or a song to express a feeling but Overall Words are the most effective and strongest form of communication, I don't get how anyone can deny that.

He makes me cringe like no other human can
