Here's a thought experiment: what was Marc Andreesen's last idea? How much ego was in it: none, some, or a lot?

I'm not really disagreeing with the point that I suspect you're making, I'm just saying that it's a lot more cynical than "hero worship".

Do you mean "insidious," in that the tech celebrities that people use as role models might be charlatans?

...I didn't say "insidious" at all.
