And then they'll be criticized for allegedly helping people stay ignorant.
There's nothing wrong with being an activist. Even if we don't follow these people closely, there's no doubting how much influence they have.
Katy Perry had a conversation with Neil Degrasse Tyson and posted it on Youtube. The level at which she understood science left me speechless- you could tell Neil was on a level she'll never reach. Her understanding of many concepts were so basic and simple, but that conversation basically opened the door for more people to try to become smarter.
Being famous has potential. Tom Hiddleston spends his time helping people in Africa. It's up to these celebrities to actually do something instead of being a delusional crybaby.
