Can you Give it All Away?: Ye’s Plan to be ‘Homeless’
In an effort to undermine and undercut the nature of capitalism, the only social system of justice, hip hop artist Ye plans to be “homeless.” Similar to centibillionaire, and currently the wealthiest person on the planet, Elon Musk, Ye wishes to own no residential properties.

Discovering Bob Dylan
I intended to write a piece on the song “Desolation Row” by Bob Dylan, a gorgeously epic surreal story set in some Western town at an unspecified time period, and then I started thinking of all the other songs and lyrics that are now permanently etched into my memory, so I changed my perspective and decided to tell you how I came to absolutely love Dylan’s work and how he has influenced a lot of my thinking.
