Boris, thanks for pointing out that very important point about 'silly' things have a place. One of the most tiresome vibes emitted by our tech world is that everything must be Very Useful Indeed. And LOL @ girlfriend tracking you.

Louis Gray is a GREAT case study. He came out of nowhere, he seemingly writes intelligent stuff, and thus the hype machine started around him--- that hype machine is run by people, not him, unwittingly catapulting him higher up a list. He got the attention of the A-list who, mention him to a HUGE audience, etc etc, you see how the cycle happens. Out of 20K fanboys, someone is bound to go 'oh yeah this guy's all right' and then boom. Multiplication.

A-lists never die, they just evolve, through every industry, media type and beyond. We are animals, and we put people on A-lists whether we think we do or not. Being considered A-List puts you in a position to get things others can not. We are deeply aware of this (especially if we don't have access to things that we want access to). And that brings up envy and greed, and a whole pandorian box of stuff to face.
