Famously Stupid

There are those people out there in the world who we make famous. Yes, you and I have some control over just who gets to be a celebrity. Think for a moment about all the people out there who are incredibly famous. Yup, those people tend to be incredibly stupid. Most of us admit these people are horrible people. They say things that make them look moronic. But, they are famous because we made them that way.

Be that as it may, they are a fascinating group of people. On the flipside of this, there doesn't seem to be too many smart people who are famous. With a few exceptions. It is those exceptions, one that I mention explicitly that should step into the role of politics. Even that would piss some people off.

Ah, the perils of having a point of view.
