124/300: If and when you become the Supreme Ruler of the World, who will be your top advisor?

so, uh, is that a position with the clothing company? like, SUPREME: Ruler of the World? is that the job title of the ultimate hypebeast? because i would be terrible at that unless my advisor was JR Smith or maybe Virgil Abloh (and that would be a conflict of interest). i mean, i get Supreme, but i don’t really “get get” it. unless that’s how everyone gets it? does anyone get Supreme? can someone tell me why it’s popular? seriously, i was lying. i don’t get it.

i know it’s a fashion brand for hypebeasts. for those that don’t know, a hypebeast is just someone who is super into the latest clothing and style trends (feel free to correct me on that). they’re probably the friend that had those really ugly Nikes way before everyone else. for real, you cannot tell me those are nice shoes. i refuse to believe it. they are trash. they look like a grandmother’s crochet project gone wrong. corduroy is not hype. it’s not. stop. sheesh.

but listen, if this prompt wasn’t about the clothing brand, i still don’t really get it. i’d be an awful leader of the world. any one person would. have you seen the guy down south? that’s just one country. imagine trying to run the world. i don’t think i have the conviction at this point in my life. i’m too undecided on too many important things. i think i just need more years to figure it out. so if it is when and not if, just…give me some time.

plus i’m a people pleaser and that does not go well with running the world. no one would ever be happy, let alone satisfied. plus dictatorships — even benevolent ones — are just lame. autonomy through democracy, y’all.

make your own choices. wear Supreme, if you want.

just please don’t rock those Nikes.

they trash.
