Are Celebrities Even Alive? (Rock, Grimes, Chalamet)

Continuing the theme, Tim discusses how The Rock and Grimes provoke a similarly uncanny non-sexual reaction, questioning whether ultra-famous people are even 'alive' in any relatable sense.
- Modern celebrities seem artificially enhanced or heavily medicated, their personalities resembling microchip implants rather than human traits.
- Timothy Chalamet is a perfect example—technically attractive with sharp jawline and hair, but doesn't look like a biological human being, more like an idea.
- Tim imagines trying to have lunch with Chalamet: he'd play with an endive leaf, run his hand through his hair, brood silently while you keep leaning closer to the table.
- When offered chicken, Chalamet would respond only with ambient sounds; wearing all white, he'd request a lemon and make mysterious noises.
- The real question: is a person like Timothy Chalamet actually alive in any way a normal human would understand when interacting with them?
