Why Sam Harris and Elon Musk are no longer friends..

[Magical Realist]

It has nothing to do with wealth. Elon has 230 million followers. That's objectively a huge audience.

Relevance has nothing to do with fame or internet followers either. Kim Kardashian has 362 million followers and she couldn't be a more irrelevant person. OTOH, how many people know who Philo Farnsworth is?

Culture relevance means understanding and connecting with an audience's shared values, beliefs, and experiences to create authentic, resonant messages or practices.

Relevance has nothing to do with connecting to some audience. It has nothing to do with an audience. I showed you two examples of that. Do you need more?

Apparently you didn't understand the relatively simple definition given above.
These people may not be relevant to you personally, and me neither, but cultural relevance is about influence in popular culture. You know, people so well known that they are household names. Like it or not Elon and Kim and more household names than Sam.

These people may not be relevant to you personally, and me neither, but cultural relevance is about influence in popular culture.

You changed it from relevance to "cultural relevance." We're not talking about cultural relevance or pop culture. We're simply talking about relevance. And there is no audience required for that. How well did Tim Berners-Lee connect to an "audience"? How many people even know who he is? Is he relevant? You bet your ass he is!

Let's see what your AI buddy says:

"relevance does not require fame; the two concepts are distinct and often operate independently. Fame relates to being widely known or visible to the general public, while relevance is about being important, meaningful, or applicable to a specific situation, person, or need."

Okay, so you just don't understand the concept of relevance. Got it.
