I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take one of my girlfriends as an example.  Selena Gomez.  <\/p>\n<p>When I met her, I was, obviously, the more famous of the two.  I had to actively search the internet to find pictures of her, lol.  I mean, she had no fansites, no social media prescense that I remember, and&#8230; nothing, really.  She was, blunty, two shades away from being a nobody.<\/p>\n<p>I started dating her and *poof* she became famous, and then, more famous- she got fansites, for example, and then- <em>more <\/em>famous, with real hit songs and everything, and then&#8230; and so on, and so on, until she became the most popular person on instagram, at one time.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; Selena.  Is she more famous than me <em>now<\/em>?  Quite possibly, I would think.  There are few in our nation&#8217;s cities who have not heard of her.  Very few.  <\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; ah&#8230; I <em>made <\/em>her, did I not?  I created her fame.  Anyone who really knows of her career knows about me, too, I would think.  I mean, how could they <em>not<\/em>? <\/p>\n<p>Hmmn, I don&#8217;t know.  It&#8217;s possible, though.  Guys who don&#8217;t look behind the curtain, for example.  Parents who just know her because their kids do.  <\/p>\n<p>Hmmn.  But what if&#8230; what if&#8230; her parents know me as the guy who created the alt-right?  Or as the telepath?  I don&#8217;t know.  I could well be more famous than her.  It is very possible.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I do not think there are many people out here in Gurnee, Illinois that would instantly recognize her if she were just walking down the street, I wouldn&#8217;t think.  I mean, they wouldn&#8217;t <em>expect <\/em>her to be there, but still.  They do know me, clearly.  And I would expect they would know me A LOT more in L.A. than they do here.  Like, orders of magnitude more.<\/p>\n<p>Huh.  Woah.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&#8230; how famous am I, really? I don&#8217;t know.
