Can psychology explain the worship of useless people in our current society?

Can psychology explain the worship of useless people in our current society?

Capitalism exalts the useless far, far above the productive.

>useless

they're the circus in the "bread and circus" thing.

how did this become popular in america?

we have always exalt useless stuff like art, music and sports, etc. but the standard really goes down in our time that you can't help but notice how degenerate it is

>Art
>Music
>Sports
>Useless
These are three of the most useful things in society.

women and faggots

Culture of entertainment.

Even the most stupid, pointless thing in the world can become useful if it sells well among the masses.

Masses want be entertained by cheap plastic whores, why not give them what they want?

...

*want to be

Opiates of the masses

depends, art and music can lift you up and make you a better a human being, or they can turn you into a degenerate faggot, modern art tend to do the latter, its the substance of it that make it matter

>degenerate
explain.

Kylie Jenner is 100% non Armenian but had plastic surgery to look more Armenian

top zozzle

She always looked non-white

Capitalism is a BANE.

be honest Veeky Forums who would you smash?
As for myself, the chick in the red shoes

Psychology is a lie and mostly useless

A) not only has no one ever needed paychology before in all of history, but in the wake of its advent people have never been more psychologically fucked
>no source but you'll believe me anyway
B) Does anyone actually believe this shit? Babies wanna fuck their moms? Wtf? That's retarded
C) Cui bono? When psychology tells you you're fucked in the head you go to a paychologist who sends you to a pharmacy and who owns both of those? The medicine conglomerate people

FUCK PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is bullshit, so no.

But the explanation is that in a capitalist society, the rich are the equivalent of monarchic royalty. Many may dissent, but most grovel at their feet.

We need these things to distract ourselves from suicide.

>Art
>Music
>Athleticism
These are not opiates of the masses. These are what elevate the great above the rest.

Of course plebs enjoy them as well. But they like their own pleb art, music and sports that they're entitled to.

Escapism

Germany lost the war and it all went downhill from there

but those things are what makes me want to commit suicide

None, they all look fake as shit

Different vices for different folks.

I mean, you're not dead yet, so something must've worked.

Yeah, family, politics, philosophy, literature, a desire to know how everything in the universe works, etc

All people seek out the most benefit for the least amount of work.
Useless people (like Kardashians) have succeeded in getting a lot of benefit for no work.
People therefore look up to them, as they have actualized the ideal that they wish to also actualize.

Pretty simple.

> modern art tend to do the latter
This is like reddit: the opinion

Everyone but Kim. Kendall hot as fuck.

Yeah but nobody is addressing WHY

Reality TV fills a gap in social life for people trapped in suburban isolation, its simulated drama, a simulated social life. One that can be aspirational (that they do/buy nice things) and self affirming (they spoiled brats, makes viewers feel better about not being a whiny millionaire)

Big suburbia and consumer culture are unique to America, so do the math

Our media runs on profit, not quality

>YAAAAAASSSS

Capitalism.

Because money is held upon a pedestal, anyone who amasses large quantities of it has to be worshipped.

The Romans were correct to grant entertainers the same status as their slaves

There's more to psychology than Psychoanalysis, kiddo.

>reddit is bad meme

How hard would NFL coons play if they were just slaves?

It's not just a thing of our current society.

See the Japanese emperor.
