What I have realized from interacting with celebrities, I felt they are living in their own world of symbols where their validations they get from their environment override the reality.

They disconnected from being real. It is like everybody, they just chased the path and succeed at it. They are driving these narratives in the front, It doesn’t mean they questioned about the game they are in and they are doing it consciously.

That is where I released they are being used and they are living in a collective imaginary world.

I wanted to ask so I started probing with some questions about success and the narratives that they are spreading.

I asked are do you know the consequences of spreading them, do you know what you do and so on. Some of them get easily effected with their fragile egos. it’s like an image protection is a survival mechanism in order to survive.

But majority of them changes after giving them enough evidence, they changed their appearances and their stories.

That’s where I thought, They are not as very conscious as I thought, they are doing it because their fans and journalists give them validation with likes and comments.

They are like a dummy pieces, where powerful are using them to train the collective. These movies are a way to create perceptions and to train the collective psyche using archetypes for Elite interests. They use great storytelling and visuals and sounds to immerse users, where they train the collective unconscious using strong archetypal characters. Over the time, these characters becomes celebrities.

Movie is like an experience, where people don’t get chance to reflect. The visuals, sounds, images create these immersive experiences, where narrator plans ideas into people’s subconscious. People unconsciously accept them, that’s where programming happens.

When movie is produced, they need promotions for their movie, they create pseudo events by bringing news reporters, Journalist to get more eye balls.

Journalists need more masala content, for their viewers and because of this nature of content, they use them to keep hooked for their viewership. That’s where these psedo events dominate, they get more coverage, hence more pseudo events.

The media creates these images/symbols using selective narrating because it gets more viewership. That’s how celebrities or successful stories are being created.

Then this social media algorithm love them because it produces more engagement hence more ad revenue for them and their users.

People think these are real, they are not, they are being crafted by publications using pseudo events.

Over time time, fame and images are created, we think, they are real because it appears to be and we give consent. That’s where we live in a illusory world, where people disconnect with the reality and real events.

These symbols, pseudo events and personalities dominate the actual events and actual news, practical matters where people needs more attention.

Then it becomes simulation, where images replace the reality. Because simulation is more interesting than reality itself.

That’s how we create a world where Simulation becomes the reality.
