A quotation from Cicero

Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
 
[Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 11 / sec. 26 (62 BC) [tr. Yonge (1856)]

A quotation from Fran Lebowitz

The best fame is a writer’s fame. It’s enough to get a table at a good restaurant, but not enough that you get interrupted when you eat.

Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950) American journalist, essayist
Panel Discussion (1993-05-24), “Fame in the 20th Century,” Clive James (moderator), Joseph Papp Public Theater, New York City

Not only did @Edent appear in my earholes while listening to Late Night Linux today, but he’s only got himself on Hackaday again, too.

We shall call him “the ubiquitous Mr Eden” from now on. #TUME #fame #notoriety #fortune

Watched #AustralianStory on #ABC on #BonScott from #ACDC other day, been reading bios on #JackKerouac & #NealCassady. One common feature for the three was they all wanted a simple, quiet life without #Fame or #Notoriety, a family & a home.

It seems that being famous and a celebrity is bad for your health and well being.

So, it makes u wonder why people aspire to be famous.

The Nature of #Celebrity. The examples are old - some have lost their #CelebrityStatus in public awareness, or they may have shifted categories. #DeadCelebrities can become #CulturalIcons, entering a quasi-mythic state as a #symbol, disconnected from their original significance.
New form of #DigitalMedia create spaces for #Fame & #Notoriety to evolve. #MassMedia #MediaLiteracy #SocialMedia ##CelebrityCulture #Marketing #Myth #Legend #PopCulture

Dick Smiths Fair Go SupportersDec 11, 2021

THERE ARE TWO ways to make the #etheriumScam tokens more popular.

1) Have #celebrities use them, this helps them gain #legitimacy. Expect this from memecoiner. Failng that,
2) Make jokes about them to give them #notoriety. Notoriety also #elevates the #scamToken.

GUESS WHICH METHOD they are using?
