Maybe this isn’t right, but I remember reading that most young boys 50 years ago dreamed about becoming astronomers, scientists, firefighters and policemen. Now young boys dream about becoming influencers, streamers, and rich personalities. Was Idiocracy written by a time-traveller? Are we working hard to make it a reality?
Sounds like they are just dreaming about different things. Back then they also dreamed about being rich celebrities like actors and actresses, which is comparable to streamers and rich personalities.
