Only the rich have the luxury of being relevant The world as we know is only of the people who generate enough value for society. Take, for example, the news; all the major news being covered only concerns the West or European countries, and in some cases, if a meme comes from that nation, But no mention of the raging wars going on in Northern Africa, the independence bid for Somaliland, meltdown of the economy in Vietnam. These stories are seldom covered but a guy casually winning Silver in shooting seems more important. Don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to what they like but we as a society would be filled with ignorance no matter how much we enjoy it, and with ignorance comes the burden of Polarizing opinion. Thus coming back to my point of being relevant in the modern world you need to provide some kind of value to others, be it entertainment or be it monetary.
