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

Fake and reality will find a compromise

With the fast advance of AI and virtual world full immersion, we may predict that in the next 20 years, we will have access to glasses and contact lenses connected to neural implants.  These devices will enable us to perceive our individual realities according to our preferences.  This technological "advancement" may lead to a shift in societal norms, where individuals with appealing personalities, regardless of physical appearance, could dominate the dating and matrimonial scene.  Consequently, those who rely solely on their looks while maintaining unpleasant attitudes may find themselves less favored.  Alongside this shift, a relationship will become completely irrelevant, since each partner will project their ideal traits on the other partner, not asking them to change anything physically - the emphasis on personality over physical attractiveness will prevail.  We are reaching ' black mirror ' level of dystopia. Either for the first time in human history, there wil

The End of Kali Yuga in the 21st Century

The Kali Yuga is the fourth and final age of the Hindu cycle of time. It is a time of darkness and destruction, and it is said to be the worst of the four ages. Paco Rabanne believed that the Kali Yuga would end in 2025 AD. He believed that the Kali Yuga is a time of great spiritual and material darkness, and that it is a time when the world is on the brink of destruction. However, Rabanne also believed that the Kali Yuga is an opportunity for spiritual transformation. He believed that if we can overcome the darkness and destruction of the Kali Yuga, we can usher in a new age of peace and enlightenment. And a new age will start, the age of Homo Spiritualis. Rabanne's ideas about the Kali Yuga are controversial, but they are also thought-provoking. He challenges us to think about the world in a new way, and to consider the possibility that we are living in the last days of the world. A time of great upheaval and change. The old order would crumble, and a new world would be born. A t

Rick and Morty Season 6 Episode 2 - Rick: A Mort Well Lived RMS6E2 What a nice surprise to see the video game "Roy: A Life Well Lived" featured - as we know this game is an established Virtual Reality Life Simulator, completely immersive.  And of course the whole spin off, is about 'Die-Hard' ; which is also a recurring theme, with the 'pickle Rick' episode going into a rampage in the building filled with spies. Still, a very entertaining episode, and remember 'We're all Morty!' If you want to go deeper into this, try looking into the work of all the philosophers arguing that we are all living in a simulation, and think about the base of all Religions, to have you think, that nothing really matters because we are all part of something bigger.  Once again, well done Dan Harmon!
