Skipping College to Be TikTok Famous

Gen Z Followers following ...  Gen Z Internet celebrity what could possibly go wrong?!

With motto like 'The feed must be fed.' and 'The worse feeling is to become irrelevant.'

The relationship between Gen Z influencers and their followers usually is complex and sometimes even toxic, in the age of tik tok and instagram and the constant demand for attention and validation. This dynamic can create a pressure-filled environment where the influencer feels compelled to go to extreme lengths to maintain popularity and gain views.

Influencers rely heavily on their fan base for success. Followers play a crucial role in supporting their favorite artists by watching their livestream, purchasing their merchandise, and posting back and force, reblogging, tweeting, etc ... 
In return, followers expect a personal connection and engagement from the influencer. And that is the big fantasy on social media platforms: the unspoken expectation, as followers now have direct access to their idols and can communicate with them instantly. But let's be honest, it will rarely happens.

With this level of accessibility, in many scenario it will lead to an unhealthy relationship. Followers may become possessive, obsessed. 
They may develop unrealistic expectations of constant interaction and validation from their idol, demanding attention and a personal connection at all times.

In response to this pressure, some influencers may feel compelled to push themselves to the extreme. They may engage in attention-seeking behaviors, controversial stunts, or risky activities solely to maintain relevance, gain views, and keep their fan base engaged. This can result in a cycle of constantly pushing boundaries and seeking validation from the followers, which can be mentally and emotionally draining for them.

The pressure to meet unrealistic standards of beauty, talent, and behavior can lead to anxiety, depression, and even self-destructive behavior. 
Some online artists may feel trapped within this toxic cycle, feeling that they must continually push themselves to the limit to maintain their fame and avoid disappointing their followers.

In conclusion, the relationship between Internet celebrities and their followers may become toxic when unrealistic expectations, constant demands, and the pressure for views and popularity come into play. 

Spoiler alert, worst case scenario it gets bad, best case scenario the Internet celebrity grows out of it.

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, the...

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...

George Carlin talking about Religion

"So, there's this guy named Jesus, right? And he's the son of God. And he comes down to Earth to save us from our sins. And he does this by dying on the cross. And then he comes back to life. And now he's in heaven. And he's watching over us. And if we're good, we'll go to heaven when we die. And if we're bad, we'll go to hell. But here's the thing: I don't understand this. Why does God need a son? Why can't he just save us himself? And why does he need to die? Why can't he just wave his magic wand and make everything better? And then there's the whole heaven and hell thing. Why does God have to punish people who are bad? Why can't he just forgive them? And why does he have to send them to a place of eternal suffering? I don't know, man. It all seems kind of messed up to me. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a comedian. I'm not a theologian. But I will say this: I'm glad I'm not the one who has to figure t...
