Jaden Smith is just an icon living. And some of his most iconic moments came in the form of tweets, where Jaden wasn’t afraid to say what no one was thinking.
Speaking to The Huffington Post, Smith explained some of his all-time cryptic posts.
How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real
— Jaden (@jaden) May 2, 2013
Smith’s response:
“This one comes from a study that a scientist was saying, that the way that the eyes perceive reality is not the way we actually see it. So, like, we can only see three base colors, but there’s so much more on the electromagnetic spectrum of light that we could see, but our eyes are just not capable of seeing, which brought me to the realization that what we see on an everyday basis is not actually what’s there. It’s actually only what we can take in.
“And I also took in another study that … our eyes are kind of like mirrors in a sense to where they perceive things and then they flip. We take in the information upside down and then the brain flips it right side up so that we can see it right side up … and I was like, if we take in the raw visual information upside down and mirrors portray things in reverse, then they’re not real. We’re living in the Matrix.”
I disagree that we are living in the Matrix. That movie ruled. Reality is kinda trash.
I Am Not A Human And I Don't Speak English

Personally, I liked this better when it was a Lil Wayne lyric. Here’s what Jaden said:
“That’s true! That’s true! Because I’m not gonna be categorized as a human. Oh, humans are supposed to do this or act like this or people are supposed to act like this or people are supposed to be this. I’m my own thing. Don’t judge me off some standards that were made up before I was born. I’m doing my own thing.”
Yeah, he’s just wrong here. He’s not a human because of his actions, he’s a human because of his DNA and skeletal makeup. And he does speak English.

Smith explains:
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a sad one. But it’s true. Because when someone leaves, that’s when everybody starts to care about them.”
I’m not even mad at this. He’s right.

Sometimes, a senseless tweet is a senseless tweet:
“That one? I really don’t know where my head was at with that one. Yeah, I love that one. That was like an abstract painting in the form of words. The visuals that get created in your mind when you say that sentence, I created those visuals in your mind.”
Thanks?
The More Time You Spend Awake The More Time You Spend Asleep.

Maybe?
“I mean that’s just a fact. But like, I just fucking need to … as soon as I say it, then it becomes like a novelty thing. Then it becomes something that’s super funny. It’s super true though.”
This one hurt my brain because I tried to incorporate math and I suck at math. I’m sure there’s a scientific study out there on this.
A lot Of My Tweets Will Come True In 2018
— Jaden (@jaden) January 1, 2018
He wasn’t wrong.
“I’ve tweeted about a lot of things that have to do with myself musically or creatively or saying, ‘Oh here’s my plans or here’s what I’m gonna do.’ I’ve hinted at starting a vision clothing line. I’ve hinted at going on major tours,” he said. “One thing that’s coming true is me going on tour with J. Cole. I’ve never said specifically that I wanted to be on tour with J. Cole, but I’ve always said that I do love J. Cole, and I want to be on tour, and I wanted to be in different arenas and play Staples Center. I’m sure even if I didn’t tweet it, I have an internal circle of homies where I talk about things like this. I’ve talked about performing at Staples Center, performing my new album on tour.”
Unfortunately, don’t expect more crazy Jaden tweets. He’s not as active on social media due to criticism.
