>>"Worshipping celebrities is another sign that the Western world is incapable of critical thinking."
BTW, 'worshipping celebrities' is global - all modern cultures and all nations do it - in fact, if you read history, there is nothing new about 'worshipping celebrities' - humans have done this since time immemorial - it is an outcome of human evolution and psychology. Nothing specifically 'Western' about it. And if you'ld like to talk about critical thinking, it makes more sense to point to the 'halo effect' cognitve bias or 'argument from authority' fallacy. Again, there is nothing specifically WESTERN about this.

Wow, thanks Dr. Semantics.
And now you can, I'm sure, show proof that Westerners don't worship silly, vapid celebrities any more than more traditional countries.
Nothing to do with semantics, more to do with data analysis.
Have you looked at how K-Pop stars are worshipped in South Korea?
Have you looked at how Indian Bollywood celebrities are treated as Gods?
The examples are countless...
