Fame - Dumb vs Stardom

I was sitting in the park under my favorite tree in this park on a beautiful spring morning! It is 5/12/25 and I was just letting my mind roam free with no agenda or any deep thought. The concept of a Star versus a famous person. My vision is stardom is of a higher realm. It is untouchable. A famous person what I have labeled ‘fame - dumb’ is just notoriety. We live in a society where now people are mixing up stardom and ‘Fame-dumb’. Stardom is a process… It is slow cooked. Fame - dumb is the microwave!

With the tearing down of Hollywood for ‘A.I - dumb’ we are in a time of tumult because the process has been lost to instant! I compare A.I content to a home cooked meal which is done with love and caring! The steps have been decimated going forward with this A.I - Dumb. Stardom was committed via steps of well thought out trial and error with investment dollars. Behind the stardom was a team aka a brain trust. It takes patience to locate the correct vehicles to climb that mountain to stardom. Stardom takes being able to say no! Stardom emphasized the craft. It emphasized being unique not special. The goal was to be a one of a kind! The goal was to be different but be real about those differences. It was to create a mystique and to make mystery your trophy. Charisma is a thing you can’t touch, yet you feel it and know it when you see it. Stardom is not the obvious… you standout! You own your space! fame - dumb the space is rented!

Fame - dumb is just chasing random notoriety whatever that is. Then the internet is your place of business. You are there hoping to create instantaneous combustion from out of nowhere. You focus on creating a moment where everything is pointed at you. Everyone wants to know what or who it is. It is the principle of the train wreck! All eyes maybe on it for the moment but it is discounted the next day.

Fame - dumb isn’t an investment! It is similar to hitting the lottery. You are famous for something not famous for the process. Process sticks around. Process becomes concrete and can be referenced. It can allow something else to be nurtured. Fame - dumb doesn’t grow. It gets stuck in that moment. Stardom continues to grow for years because it is a ongoing process. It is a reference library whereas fame - dumb is a solo book.

The D.A.I.C aka Digital Artificial Intelligence Complex by industry feeds on fame - dumb. It makes people assume it is stardom because know one explains what I am doing here. In this D.A.I.C stardom isn’t fueled because that one time event is random where stardom is a process of many points of reference. The D.A.I.C feeds on what can you do for me in this moment not what can You do for me in the future! Please pause and reread this. Stardom is based on what can you do for me in the future. You see a future beyond this viral moment of fame - dumb.

The D.A.I.C doesn’t have an ‘air’ about itself. It doesn’t create a unique resonance! The goal is to package some ‘fame - dumb to create a moment. Longevity is not facilitated in the D.A.I.C! The D.A.I.C is only about feeding that beast called the algorithm aka Frankenstein of the Silly - Con -Valley interests. This is why Fame -Dumb is a dead end and leads to the illusion of I have made it….. I am famous. Fame now has been devalued during the Digerati’s takeover of media over the last few decades. Now that you know the difference you must pause, reflect and say what am I trying to accomplish? How much I am attempting to put in? Do I wish STARDOM OR FAME - DUMB? This is the future economy for youngsters to decide. That is a lot for a person to unpack. Hope what is said here helps!

Here is a article I wrote on Linked in called The Music Superstar is Now Extinct I wrote on 9/20/22. It was a culmination of my music industry redesign I started in 2017 when I found I was irrelevant and ended up publishing my first of three books. Please go to the link here. I hope to get many comments so we can create many dialogues. Thanks in advance.
