How comes that so many people need ”heroes” or idols at such an extent ?

I think it is because people don't understand that the real basis for hope is ordinary people, because most ordinary people have egalitarian values: https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/heres-proof-most-people-want-an-egalitarian?r=1iggn

Yes, we have been severely indoctrinated with a ”vertical” way of thinking instead of an ”horizontal” one : it’s normal and inevitable that some are stronger, smarter, richer... than others... there could be no society without order-givers and executants... etc etc.

Will take time until we get rid of this way of thinking and appreciate everyone’s value in terms of cooperation instead of competition.

The "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" Article 1 states: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." : it should be written and engraved everywhere so people would begin to think about it !
