What's the psychology behind celebrity culture/worship? It doesn't even have to be an actor/singer/whatever - if the media says they are a celebrity now, millions will eat it up. Just why?

women are interested in becoming high status so they are interested in everything which presents itself as being high status.
>Humanities - give women a feeling they're learning the proper opinions the upper class believe
>Expensive clothing - give women the feeling they're showing themselves to be in the upper class
>Celebrity worship - give women the feeling they're conforming to the queens opinions

men are interested in being competitive so they are interested in everything which gives them an advantage.
>STEM - give men a feeling they're smarter than other men
>Gym - give men a feeling they're stronger
>Video games - give men a feeling they're better than others at an activity

People worship celebrities for the same reason ancient people worshiped prolific hunter-gatherers. Emulating behavior of someone who is getting shit done efficiently increases your chances of feeding your children and propagating your blood line across the generations.

Similarly people are going full retard when it comes to cheering their favorite sports team. Its a behavior that taps into an ancient tribal adherence mechanism where you increase survival chances by strengthening tribal coherence. Us vs them type of mentality.

In short these behaviors are hereditary psychological remnants from times when it actually mattered.

there's intentional disobedience and then there's disobedience because you're too dumb to appreciate the consequences or forgot the rules
