Can you name some people who are working there and who you look up to? I need some new idols after the old idols all went up in MAGA and Epstein files .
That said I like Bryan Cantrill as an engineer and leader, but I would never put him on a pedestal.
Nobody is flawless and part of becoming an adult is learning to admire specific qualities rather than obsess over individuals.
Any evidence or proof? This can be said about anything, even about your comment.
One dichotomy categorisation I personally look for in people is: * likes heirachy versus * dislikes heirachy.
I suspect heroes are mostly relevant if you are a heirachy lover? I also believe that heirachy lovers are more likely to believe in evil puppetmaster conspiracies (anti-heroes if you will).
It is a lot harder to find heroes if you dislike authority because your heroes are more likely to avoid heirachical status ladders?
Listen to the words, don't follow "personalities", don't listen to specific individuals just because of their status. Not a single time have I been disappointed by an idol, because I've made the conscious choice of not having following any. Bunch of smart people say smart stuff all the time, until they don't. I read everything as if I don't know the author, I think more people should do this and less celebrity worship would make the entire ecosystem better. We need less of it, not more.
