Screw the Elites, I was never the type to worship celebs, I would not even walk across the street for an autograph ever in my life. If you sing sing, if you act act, if you play ball play ball. Acting isn't as hard as people think, most have a few facial expressions or phrases they use in every movie. Music is often less than half live at concerts with backing tracks and electronics. Playing ball is more about playing playing playing. None of these abilities connote wisdom or moral fiber.

You are touching so well/explicitly on the ugly fact the media for 80+ years have elevated to idolatry a cadre of constructed/created demigods consisting of shells built up around 5th rate people doing circus tricks.
Look for a book called "The Death and Resurrection Show" by Rogan Taylor. 1970s I think. He talked about how the entertainment industry co-opted the ancient European and Uralic culture of shamanism. He was a British football (soccer) writer iirc.
The sooner people break away from that idolatry, the better. But judging from my own circles--where, e.g., "Christians" worship the state of Israel and football, in that order--I'm not hopeful.
Good info and I want to be optimistic that this will change...
