Hi everybody this is God's

it's now nearly 48 hours since the incident at the Academy Award

ceremony where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making an innocuous joke about Will Smith's wife's hair.

I don't know if it's anticlimactic to weigh in at this point, but I thought that there are definitely several general lessons that can be leaned from this situation, so I thought it was still worthwhile to perhaps

offer a synthesis of some of my thoughts.

So first, many years ago back in 2010, I think, I had written an article on Psychology

Today which I've since read on my YouTube channel and on my podcast the article is titled the Narcicism and

Grandiosity of celebrities and in the article I was trying to offer some reasons

including psychological ones, that explain why celebrities are so narcissistic and so grandiose.

There are several reasons I highly suggest that you check out the the clip on the topic.

I will add it at the end of this clip so that you can go to it if you'd like.

One of the reasons that I suggested that celebrities are so narcissistic

is because I argue that they suffer from a form of

existential guilt. So in the same way that a person who survives a plane crash

while the person sitting next to them did not suffers from survival guilt, right?

Why is it that the Cosmos has allowed me to survive?

What's special about me that causes other person

just because of the randomness of where they were sitting to die and that could cause quite a debilitating form of survival guilt.

Well I argue that celebrities suffer from existential guilt, meaning that at the end of the day when they put

their heads on their pillows to fall asleep, they know deep down inside that they are not

worthy of the adulation that they receive. I mean they're just actors

playing a role, right? They really are extraordinarily ordinary in the grand scheme of life.
