      It’s not that.

      It’s that 50 years ago there was a fraction of “famous people” alive that we have now.

      Once Hollywood, etc grew exponentially, more people became famous. We all die. Ergo we will see a lot more frequent deaths like this as the new normal.

      It will get faster.
