Earlier this week, Kanye got intellectual on Twitter and told his followers to watch the four-hour documentary The Century of Self, which explores and offers critiques of modern consumerism.
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..

His wife Kim Kardashian followed that up by posing nude for the purpose of selling some perfume that nobody needs.
