Hard agree on this.
It seems to me that the process of becoming a celebrity either makes people shitty, or shitty people have a huge ststistic advantage to become celebrities. As if it comes with the territory.
The same is with companies - all of them are here to make money and most of them are happy to test the line of right and wrong.
So it's refreshing when you come across a celebrity or company that care.
But then there are those who do their best to be seen as the good ones and then suddenly take off their masks and you see you've been approving of human excrement.
I’m not really a devout religious person, but I think the concept of selling “your soul” for cash is pretty universal and doesn’t actually require any sort of god to be true, not to say there isn’t one of course.
You sell your attitude to companies, your time, your money, your energy, everything. And know people are actually selling their voices and images for AI profit too.
I get it, we all need money to get by but, it seems some people want to go past getting by and end up spending what time and energy they have left on earth for the prospect of a better future that only certain people ever achieve.
Idk I’m not so convinced in my own words either. Willing to debate if anyone’s interested!
