Should we take Celebrities Seriously?

3 years ago

In this monologue, I want to talk about this new trend where celebrities from all across the globe keep opining on different subjects from Climate Change to local politics in other countries. Should we take these celebrities seriously? In a world where bluster is relevant and expertise is taboo what role are celebrities playing? Are they adding value to the overall discourse? Or, are they actually creating more confusion?
