I am presently listening to a very " successful "-by normal
philistine standards-radio talk show " celebrity " here in Rhode Island.
He entertains us daily with what passes for local news, is always
boosting local business interests, entertains the listeners with his own
inflated ego and PERSONALITY.
If you are not successful in your career, that must be the difference: he has PERSONALITY and you don't. Even if you did get all As in nerd subjects-like math, physics, and ancient history.
But Karl Marx can help us here too. Marx said the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. So if you want to be a SUCCESSFUL news media personality in America-like Brian Williams or Matt Lauer- just have the perfect mental antennae that tune you in to the ideas and values of your boss-the ruling class.
Idealistic high school kids might think that the compassionate social philosophy of Pope Francis is cool. But Ayn Rand Thought is more likely to get you NOTICED. Nothing succeeds in America like " The Virtue of Selfishness ". In general GREED IS GOOD. Teach this to all ambitious kids.
Even NPR " personalities " can advance themselves by TUNING IN to the ideas of the ruling class. Above all forget any SOCIALIST crap . THAT won't pay the bills.And you do need those brighter, whiter teeth- for that seductive shark smile." Smiling Faces " begins the old tune ( by " Paranoia " ) You do have to LIE- and often. But preferably lie with a big bright smile that advertises your SUCCESS.
As Arthur Miller's Willie Loman learned you will be not just liked but WELL LIKED.
