The Death of Fame and Money as Status

from Biden's Mumbles & Dance Moms | The Tim Dillon Show #399 · #399

3 min

Tim continues his pragmatism thesis, arguing fame and extreme wealth have lost their cultural currency because everyone's been made famous and rich people now look pathetic, segueing into real estate reality TV.

In this bit5 moments
  • Tim argues that pragmatism is returning as young people recognize fame has lost its currency and status value.
  • Fame has been destroyed by making everyone famous; Andy Warhol's 15 minutes prediction has come to pass.
  • Money retains value in general, but extreme wealth now looks pathetic and ridiculous rather than aspirational.
  • Real estate shows should open with hosts admitting they're failed actors choosing it as a second or third career.
  • Realtors represent the damned—people with sociopathic work ethics settling for a fallback profession they never wanted.
