The downward spiral of fame

Internet famous

There is no free lunch, past 2010 a new league of famous people started to pop ; they called themselves the influencers, the internet famous, the youtubers, etc ... 

Sure, working 9 to 5 in a tedious job is not the dream life

But being an Internet Star is not either, and this is why:

- you may be posting great stuffs, but there are tons of people posting everyday ; try googling the number of new contents posted every hour on Instagram, and you will get dizzy...

- Assuming you get noticed, then well ... hello leaked Content & Piracy ; as soon as you get views, and hits, the vulture are coming and are stealing your precious content, design, photos, artwork, lyrics, poetry, etc ...

- Another consequence, of being famous is that you will always be asked to do more ; this added pressure, will get you up at night, and somehow at this point ; you will be lucky if are making money out of it... 

- Because let's face it the money is NOT as good as you may think

- Now, if you don't have other skills that your body, then you have entered another category of 'Internet Stars' and don't forget "There is a cost to becoming a sexual object" because you will then be opening yourself to sexual Harassment and stalkers 

- Also once you have tasted the Internet bubble, it can interfere with your goals (career wise) ; imagine yourself trying to return to a mainstream career, and your employer is googling your name, and finds lots of contents, that maybe you wished would have disappeared ...

- The same thing will happen with your partner, this past life decision will impact future relationships

- Once you posted something on the Internet, and it got noticed ... it will be there forever, you can't take it back

This era has seen the emergence of several big governments, and corporations that are borderlines bullies. 1. Concentration of power in a central authority is leading to authoritarianism , where individual freedoms and rights are often suppressed in favor of state control. 2. With power centralized, there's a higher risk of corruption as decision-making is confined to a few individuals or entities (oligarch). This can lead to misuse of public funds, nepotism, and favoritism. 3. Centralized governments may become ineffective, struggling to effectively address the diverse needs of different regions or communities within the country. Decision-making processes can be slow and bureaucratic. 4. Centralized power can result in a lack of accountability , as decision-makers may not be directly answerable to the people they govern. This can lead to abuses of power without consequences. 5. Centralized governments may suppress cultural, linguistic, or ethnic diversity in favor of a uniform nat...

Street fighter 6: Cammy costume redesigned

Hard times, folks I mean 2022 has not been gentle on us Even Street fighter 5 had to be a little rough on us, why Cammy had to be redesigned? Look at the absolute perfection that was her outfit And the designers thought they could top that? Sure, she still has the same silhouette that makes her very recognizably.  Her chunky elbow length gloves, the short jacket keeps her midriff with the hourglass angles she's always had, and the straps on her jacket fill in for her pigtails. But then why? from  instagram.com/p/CfHga7VlYbP/ personally, I will always wonder how Lux Kassidy would have looked in that original costume...

" The Fine Art of Baloney Detection " is an essay written by Carl Sagan (a renowned astronomer, astrophysicist, and science communicator).  In this essay, Sagan outlines principles and techniques for critical thinking and skepticism, emphasizing the importance of approaching claims and assertions with a skeptical mindset.

Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence : Sagan popularized this principle, which suggests that extraordinary claims, such as those that contradict established scientific knowledge or defy the laws of nature, require proportionately strong evidence to supp...
