Indeed.

Not that it’s my field, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this has a lot to do with the human propensity to fall for religion.

Many humans actually have genetic traits that make them more likely to become religious [citation needed].

I suspect religion is interchangeable.

I recall a research case a decade or so back, where they took a huge Apple fan and showed him Apple logos and products while doing an MRI or something and his brain lit up the same way a religious persons brain would when you show them religious iconography, like a cross.

Some people are simply followers, doesn’t matter what.

Some people like to exploit that, such as Trump and Joe Rogan. Surprised they’re not peddling NFT’s and Crypto.

I guess I don't think these people are role models.

They are more like personalities that people liked, and then it snowballed and they became famous because people know their names and they become like a brand.

There are people that dislike mainstream brands, and I think there are people who dislike mainstream influencers also. We are not the same.

There guys don't have any wisdom. They are usually self absorbed people who want attention.
