My point was grossly misunderstood all over America. JFK is one of my heroes, one of the nation’s heroes” ~Erykah Badu
Show me evidence proving society’s general acceptance of blindy following tradition & custom for “well being” & “fitting in is anything short of pure insanity.
They say different is weird, unknown is strange, unorthodox is crazy, and uncommon is peculiar.
They say if the entire world walks left and you walk right there is something wrong with you. I beg to differ.
I think the one person who is furthest from insanity will be the one that society deems to be crazy.
Disinformation is so widespread that real information is perceived as “crazy”.
Usually those defined as weird, crazy, etc are those who function contrary 2 popular consensus & push the elements of perception.
Crazy – having an unusual, unexpected, or random quality, behavior, result, patten, etc
To you I’m crazy bc I don’t care abt “what’s important”. To me ur crazy bc society tells you “whts important”.
Reality – the state or quality of being real. Something that exists independently of ideas
No where does it say reality is: “what [your] mind/society says”. There is only 1 reality yet everyone lives in their own world
We are made to be different, yet the world wants us to be the same, but to make a difference. Lol Ironic & absolutely impossible.
Regardless what u think, what u want & what you heart contains, the moments that display your ACTIONS (or lack thereof) define u.
If everything u do follows what family says, friends say, role models says, traditions say & those ppl are dead wrong.. guess what?
The model for mass manipulation of society through fear of being “too different” is psychological term “group think”. Look it up
Being anti groupthink is exactly what Erykah Badu’s Window Seat song and video is abt. Bet u didn’t know that.
In the reverse version of Window Seat the words “groupthink” emerge from Erykah’s blood as she is shot and killed and if you listen, the guy on the megaphone yells “groupthink” as she dies.
“Evolving” is on her back as she strips away societies “boundaries” and her clothes.
After stripping, dying, and bleeding out manipulation she reemerges looking different, she now has evolved.
BUT people in the world who watched the video only saw Erykah’s ass… hmmph
Maybe sanity died instead.
Go to http://www.erykahbadu.com/ click “window seat reversed” watch again and actually listen this time. Hello new perspective.
For more on our view of Window Seat, check out Original Erykah Badu – Window Seat Awkwordsilence.com post with original video (March 30, 2010).
Perception is reality. But only if you receive what is really there.
The classic and also over looked plight of this whole thing is the video is symbolic and also depicting of the assassination of President John F Kennedy who was killed in the exact place where Window Seat took place. Kennedy was killed after expressing his desire to end certain secret societies, the war of Vietnam, and mass manipulation through misinformation in the media.
To hear his speech and see the footage of his murder at Elm Street in Dallas, Texas watch John F Kennedy Died For the Truth on Awkwordsilence.com August 10, 2010.

Zero responses?! Oh hell no…
This is an issue of perpetual and monumental proportion. Cmon y’all.. the irony of this piece is that the response validates the claim. Groupthink is ever present, now more than ever. People fight to be the first to comment on a Kat Stacks video but shy away from (or ignore) issues that directly affect them. The dialogue about the union between media and manipulation is the only thing we should be discussing, because anything else we ARE discussing is promoted by that same media.
Erykah Badu is on another level, watching her interview on the Monique show after the window seat controversy was an Eye-opener… they couldn’t even a hold a conversation because Monique couldn’t grasp what Miss Badu was saying. And instead of trying to understand, Monique brushed everything off with an “oh you deep” type comment.
Most people are like Monique, not realizing that when you call somebody deep you’re also demeaning yourself as a shallow being. Get it together, look closer, and know that nothing is what it seems.
Go head Mr OneHunnidt
