And addicted to idols. CEOs, presidents, etc. Which is self-fulfilling prophecy.

Steve Jobs. Gates. Musk. Satoshi. Vitalik Buterin. You name it.

I think people are annoyed that they don't know who the real person behind Satoshi is, because they can't idolize them, or talk about "how they grew up" or "what they said"

I think the most interesting part is how many people seem to automatically assume “Satoshi Nakamoto” is a single person.

What if Satoshi is actually a three letter US org? what if it's a secret Chinese experiment? why do we just assume Satoshi is a single human male west coast American person with WASP ethnicity.

Who assumed that? I don't think I have seen many assumptions on who they are. Only some people claiming they are them.

Or even more, can’t use them to advance their own agenda a la “Elon musk thinks pronouns are exhausting too!”
