RE: Centralization of Attention - The psychological impact of fame
Fame attracts narcissists.
And those that want to control the world look for this, because narcissists are easy to control if you know what they are.
A narcissist already thinks they are special.
It is a small step to disconnecting them from being human.
Steve Jobs or Beyonce, or Albert Einstein
Besides Jobs, the other two are talentless hacks. Puppets made to dance, to distract people from what is really happening.
Why is Beyonce's song "To the Left" regarded as "girl power" / "you go girl" instead of "you cheating slut" / "Do you really think so little of your most important relationship?"
Thank goodness for digital media. Now we can share those thousands of songs from thousands of exceptional artists.
Now all we have to do is find a way to actually alert people to their presence.
One thing is for certain. The gate keepers to the music/movie industry are dying. The new field will be much larger.
This is why i say the biggest thing Steemit is missing is a search and sorting tool.
I was just trying to speak to everyone here, even the Beyonce fans ;-P Although I wouldn't call her talentless I'd just say her talent is evasive to me. The ability to rally people into excitement (even with nonsense lyrics) or shake your butt in a certain way could also be considered a talent. Maybe some day they will be jugglers who fill up entire stadiums on their own without Cirque De Soilel's help?
But wait....You put Jobs above Einstein. Perhaps I missed something but that seems like a funny perspective. Not a big deal to me, as far as I'm concerned they are just more focused and driven than you and I.
It is because i do not believe in the basis of Einstein's theories.
The speed of light is constant? Then why does it change over time... up until the scientists got together and set the speed of light once and for all.
Nothing can travel faster than light? So, why does this exist experiments that propagate faster than light?
And all of this built on the back of mass being the thing that creates gravity. Which was "proven" by an insane rich guy in a barn... and no one has duplicated the experiment.
So, Einstein was really a quack, who they set up to be THE famous intelligent person to take the lime-light off of the real thinkers.
The new science books will feature Tesla prominently, and mention Einstein as a footnote (opposite of what it is today)
Hahaha ok I appreciate that "set up to be THE famous intelligent person to take the lime-light off the real thinkers." although I do love certain quotes and aspects about Einsteins personality and life, I do agree that he's been turned into THE smart guy to make us all feel stupid and it shouldn't be. It does seem like Tesla is getting more and more credit these days.
I agree. Einstein's personal philosophies were (are still) very good. There are lots of great quotes from him on living a better life.
