12723833, that's not what we mean, though.

thoughtfulness as we are using it means
knowing what to say out of your mouth and when.

so take you, for instance.

you and I go back and forth about what is and isn't rape.
the discussions go on and on.

obviously, you wouldn't have the same debates you have here
at your job, because your views would damage some important relationships.

at some point, you learned when to shut the fuck up.


I did too.

I use case_one as my punching bag for homophobia,
because if I went off on ppl in real life as often as I go off on him,
I would hurt my career and have no friends.

You and I found an appropriate setting to express our
potentially grating thoughts.


Here's the thing.


Kanye, for whatever reason, didn't learn that lesson.

So it hurts him and he's a jerk.

With more or better mentorship,
he would probably be able to accomplish more
and actually be able to grow into the genius he thinks he is.

Which is my original point.

If you are even slightly smarter than the average person,
you need to learn how to navigate that.
if you don't... you end up being insufferable- like kanye.
