I like the theory that we as a culture used to idolize athletes and other skilled professionals because they inspired us to be better, but once we started getting reality tv shows and weirdos in Internet videos, we basically started making celebrities out of people who are worse than us because it allows us to feel better about our own failings.

When you can say "At least I'm not as bad as that guy", you don't have to make an effort to be better.

Things like social media took away a lot of the mystique of celebrities.

"Wow, they really aren't better than other people. They're morons just like us."

I always do. Still I appreciate one who strives for perfection, I recognize my inferiority.
