Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous — not necessarily from music, but from anything: social media, entertainment, or whatever? Would you want to be as famous as him? Why or why not?

    No. The optimal (from a highly individual viewpoint) is being well-off, with friends but without fame.

    From a societal viewpoint, the best is everyone being “upper middle class” - well off enough to live, but not so wealthy that one can simply mooch off others and give nothing back.
