Leo what scenario is it ok to be a celebrity? Answer
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread@Magnanimous How it's okay is if you are doing good work and the work naturally makes you well-known. But even in that case it would be unconscious to invent a whole brand and business to milk and juice that fame to the max.
There is a whole industry behind every celebrity to milk and juice their audience by any means possible. To feed the fans, to feed the adoration, to use it for power, for narcissistic supply, for luxury, to do fake twitter posts, fake PR events, etc.
For example, Albert Einstein was well known for his good work, which is fine. But then imagine in today's age he would have an Einstein brand that sells Einstein merch and milks the fanbase. And he would have some social media consultant posting promotional tweets on his behalf.
There is a huge fakeness and whoring factor to most big celebrities.

Leo what scenario is it ok to be a celebrity?
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread@Leo Gura
About your Celebrity itself is Corruption, post, is there any way to go about it in a non-corrupt/as minimally corrupted way as possible?
Honestly I've always coveted being one the moment I got interested in doing a greater purpose in life so I've had the desire for a long time. I also saw on your pickup video you can use celeb status to pickup girls so my guess is you ascribed some validity to pursuing it.
I've also read in Conversations with God not to pursue fame for its own sake but for a greater end, which ties in nicely with my new prospective LP - Leadership (I haven't properly planned this out yet but I also thought about doing philosophy to model Plato's ideal ruler of a philosopher-king when I mature into it enough, so that could help avoid corruption and be a better reason for more people to know me and feel my influence)
In the end I'm really asking if is there any scenario where its ok to pursue and be a celeb?

Success Essential 1: Perseverance
Low points with the pursuit of a life purposeThat's why no one succeeds without perseverance.
There is no shortcut here. Either you will persevere or you will quit. If you quit you will never become successful.
Success is rare because most people are too weak, so they quit.
Success is for the strong.
Just like with marriage, you must commit 100%. Make quitting not even an option.
