#10It seems likely that the author has just aged and is noticing different things about the world. And people who didn't seem like culture heroes at the time, now seem in hindsight like they were always culture heroes.
Rich people and politicians didn't used to be culture heroes? That must be why when I was growing up everyone was a fan of Nelson Mandela and Gandhi, and all the conspiracy theories were about the Rockefellers and Kennedys.
Entertaining anecdotes are okay, I guess, but not sure why it's on Hacker News?
