Jaden and Willow Smith give an interview. Nothing else to say.

[Oceanicpuppy]

Thats pretty goofy reasoning. Look at the books we are indoctrinated with since birth. Nothing but white images and point of views. If you want to know why some of us have limited perspectives, look at this thread

lol not every book is white and white point of views, thats goofy to think that.

Are you oblivious that people of color write and have been writing for millions of years?

 

[ltheghost]

These kids are being raised RIGHT!

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Basically I don't think anything wrong with what they think.

Lucky they born into a world where money is no object and you can look at the world from other views.

The thing is, they're not. They're afforded a lifestyle to buy into one way of thinking without giving credence to other perspectives. Yes, they're taking lessons of less conventional ways of thinking living into consideration, but this whole interview shows that's their only way of thinking, they've shunned looking at the world thru multiple lenses. It's a typical teenage behavior, but that's why I can't dap them as deep and so unconventional, they've shown no ability to contextualize nor personalize their train of thought.

Spoken like a bunch of youngins who are too rich to have clue

 

[Mowgli]

how about that class of people between poverty and wealthy, lol?

Pretty sure they got time to think as well....

Those people have a little more time then poor people but are still basically living check to check, surviving but are obviously better off then people that are living in Famine.

JADEN: Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to.


from the mouths of babes can wisdom be found....

low key gem

 

[sun raw]

What are the things worth having?

JADEN: Something that’s worth buying to me is like Final Cut Pro or Logic.

WILLOW: A canvas. Paint. A microphone.

this is actually a gem

and that interview was calming as hell, i felt at peace reading it

bless these kids

Easy to be like them when you will NEVER spend a "new" $100 in your life.

When the money from your dad's bad movies will keep you rich forever...the good movies money won't be able to be seen... Will got long paper

 

[Master Teacher]

If you don't want to hear other peoples stories ( basically what she is saying) Then don't expect to people to want to listen to yours.

To say you don't read novels because you don't think their good enough is not only arrogant but a diss to humanity. people have been sharing and trading stories since the beginning of man.

I'll give her some clout since she's only a kid whom grew up privileged.

It's not about not wanting to hear

same people who complain music sucks, movies sucks, are why don't they make shows like this or that

but will never create what they want to hear or see

that's all she is saying, the fact she actually wrote a novel at her age is an accomplishment in itself

 

[Michael's Black Son]

They're slowly becoming my favorite weirdos

me too. Jaden is the face and Willow is the brains of the operation. And at least their parents just let them do them and fund the whole thing on the low

just hope adulthood isnt a total mindfukk for them

 

[Dwolf]

What have you been reading?

A.
WILLOW: Quantum physics. Osho.

JADEN: “The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life” and ancient texts; things that can’t be pre-dated.

I stopped right there fukking classic interview off that alone

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I stopped right there fukking classic interview off that alone

It's a typical teenage behavior, but that's why I can't dap them as deep and so unconventional, they've shown no ability to contextualize nor personalize their train of thought.

That's one of the only problems I have with their current mode of thinking. While what they say about school might be true to an extent, 99% of the rest of the population has no choice but to participate in the current school system. You can also tell the heavy influence from Will and Jada on both of them. The danger in this is that the EGO easily inflates and many times the students will assume they're suddenly the master instead of the protege. Obviously I don't know Jaden or Willow personally so I can't attest to if that has happened yet or if it will.

On a positive side, I'm happy to see that so far they're offering what seems to be a positive alternative to current mainstream BS. As the "thug" culture continues to die on vine, it's going to be interesting to see what kids cling to in the coming years. I think there are some great benefits in what they're saying, but it's also very easy to get thrown off course and just become a New Age hypocrite. Like some others have mentioned, it will be interesting to see how they handle the world once they're older and start having to deal with BS they didn't have to face as a kid.

They definitely have a Father that has proved over the past 20 years that he is relentless. Will might not be as popular as he was in the 90's, but he still gets big budget movies and makes moves behind the scenes. You don't hear him getting into beef with people or acting crazy for attention. Seems like a pretty good mentor to me.
