GQ Interviews Jaden Smith About His Philosphies On Life And His Future Jaden Smith has left many of us scratching our heads over the past several years. His constantly evolving state of mind has led to hard-to-decipher tweets, questionable fashion choices, and some of the strangest interviews we’ve ever read. In his new sit-down with GQ he talks about…well, we don’t know what the hell is talking about, but it’s fascinating to read. “Mystery School” “Me and my sister started this initiative called Mystery School. It dates back to like ancient Egypt, ancient Greece—like Plato, Pythagoras, all these students had mystery schools. And what they learned in there was sacred. They would learn the math and sciences of that generation, and then they would build the cities and give that energy and that knowledge to the other people. And a lot of stuff they would keep really, really to themselves. Like, you couldn’t say the word dodecahedron, which is just a shape, outside of one of the mystery schools or they would, like, kill you or whatever. Because it was such a sacred shape.” Being A “Scientist” “Me and Willow are scientists,” he explains, “so everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we’re put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time.” Fame is their lab, is what he’s saying, and we are the subjects. He’ll get on Twitter and tweet something like “The Biggest Flex Anyone Will Ever Have Is Dying.” Or the T Magazine interview they did last year, the one that left everyone convinced they were drunk on prana energy: “That experiment—it went really, really well,” he tells me. “We got to see how people reacted. And they actually ended up reacting exactly as we predicted beforehand that they would react.” He gives a sly smile. “It’s fun, bro. That’s what a lot of people don’t realize. It’s fun. It’s so much fun. It’s the best thing. People think you’re crazy—I feel like it’s an honor, actually, for people to think I’m crazy. Because they thought Galileo was crazy, too, you know what I’m saying? I don’t think I’m as revolutionary as Galileo, but I don’t think I’m not as revolutionary as Galileo.” Flip the page to hear how Jaden and Willow are planning to inspire a whole generation of kids… Images via Eric Ray Davidson/GQ Continue reading →
