magic is very real right now, and there has been a massive uptick in magic, especially of the chaotic-good variety.

The 'bees shouldn't be able to fly' quote from the bee movie refers to a time where they tried to model a bee as an airplane and what a surprise, it didn't work.


The problem I have with this is that the number of major celebrities that can exist at a time is limited by all kinds of things. There are only a certain number of movies/games/etc. made a year and people only spend a certain amount of time consuming media (including social media). 
There's no way every person on earth could be a celebrity, or even any way that everyone who *wants* to be famous could be, because there wouldn't be enough hours in the day and space in people's minds for everyone to know about all those celebrities.


What you're describing is wonder, which is a great, hugely positive thing to experience. 
Unfortunately the 'real life lore vs real life gameplay' meme is pretty relevant here. For all the jobs you list, most people end up at the lower rungs of the profession (only one politician gets to be president) and the day to day of it is devoid of wonder.
I've had to try hard to keep my job interesting even though you'd think it would be naturally interesting if I described it to you.


You're right that technology and magic are basically the same, but I wouldn't call it castrated. We've done things that alchemists only dreamed of.
We took lightning and used it to communicate instantly, make decisions and do calculations, create entire worlds, and even make a homunculus (AI).
We have horses that go faster than the fastest animals in the world and never tire, only needing to stop for food.
We have things that let us fly and have even gone to the moon, which was considered part of the heavens for most of human history.
We've transmuted elements, including the whole creating gold thing.

The problem is that scientific methods of knowledge fail at helping with the other side of magic, working with the non-physical world.
