Why we have the urge to take someone as a leading example? For some it may be historical figures like Jesus etc. for others a football player or an austrian painter.
But in the end why do we feel attached to somebody we may not even remotely know??

If you want something concrete: it gives me (but to all I think dumdum) adrenaline, like no other fps. Every single aspect of the game I can appreciate and it gives back something I recall "emotions"

Do you and others really that obsessed with a fact i said that playing CS is a "waste of time"?
Well, breathe out, cause the person using that logic is not me and actually a person i'm arguing with, i just mirrored his philosophy to show it's not that structured as he might thought it would be

I don't need to consider what isn't true.

because you like something about them
At a guess, because through history you want to pick strong intelligent successful leaders to lead your village/tribe etc. So you want to be able to identify and highlight those people.
These days we seem to idolise the wrong people though.
Philosophy degree holder (lol) here.
As humans, we all have an innate feeling that we want to achieve something, and it will be difficult. But that's the fun right? What happens when it stops being fun?
Nietzsche says this about leadership:
"To do great things is difficult; but to command great things is more difficult."
Nietzsche taps into a universal understanding that certain tasks are hard. But it's even harder to be competent and lead by example.
Let's introduce another concept from Nietzsche, called ubermensch. It is described as one being "superhuman". We know that it is impossible to have super powers but having a complete understanding and breadth of a topic can emulate this concept of "ubermensch".
So what does this all mean? In my eyes a leader ascends the normalities of a task and exceeds and leads by example.

Forgot about that guy. Yeah so there's an obvious "gotcha" to the framework of a ***good*** leader. That's called ethics.
Neitzsche wouldn't necessarily agree this concept but John Stuart Mills would say utilitarianism would be a concept a good leader would hold. Utilitarianism is the the concept of doing to greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.
I disagree, commanding great things often comes with simple political discourse. IRL leaders have a ton of people consorting them and often their job is just manage the team and give the final word.
Highly doubt stalin and Roosevelt had it harder than the actual field generals and scientists on WW2.
In more ancient times leaders were actually on the field of battle calling every shot. Today is more like someone who can gather good people and get the most of them. Not an ability that everyone has, but its in no way harder than any other task.

Absolutely, you make a good point I didn't clarify. I wouldn't discount the amount of people that stand behind and influence a leader. My example of ubermensch is aiding to the "Jesus"-esc image we give to great leaders.
OP asked what makes a great leader; my interpretation is that good leader is the strongest in terms of decision making and management. Sometimes we don't see all the inner workings of leader, we are just given an image.
Let's look at a different concept, in business called Peter's Principle. Everyone rises to a level of incompetence. In term's of CS, imagine a MG2 playing with a four stack of Novas. The MG2 may have been the top dog in MG2 and lower ranks. They know more plays, more lineups, more everything. Now put that MG2 in a four stack of GE's. Guess what? You've just played yourself, you're now at a new level of incompetence. That's Peter's Principle.

sorry i only take mental advice from i_car, a certified psychologist
I mean, its the same when people idolize others. Inability to recognize flaws of their idol is a common theme.
Actually makes me think about it. Idolizing yourself is seen as nigh pathological. But idolizing others is normal...

Same reason people donate to rich streamers. Humans tend to want to feel apart of something bigger than themselves. This is also why humans love to brag on other peoples achievements to others even tho they will never meet the person they are boasting for.
Because you don't attach to them you attach to their ideals or the example they set.

im not arguing about wether the bible is accurate or not, but there were some external sources that talked about jesus from the 1st century if i recall.
I also don't think you should not believe a person existed because they claimed to be a prophet/divine or whatever.
these types of people that reject everything about the bible are pretty much the same that would say muhammed also never existed and was an "abassid invention" despite the million proofs of his existence, anything that is religious was an invention for them.
Perhaps result of evolution. Society that fails to recognize talent and ability, is destined to fail and die out. Because it means wrong people are selected to do jobs they're bad at, thus everyone dies. The humans that have survived most this far, are those with ability to recognize competence and greatness. And those that fails to do that, are destined to keep making bad choices leading to perish.

Glorifying and recognizing talent are very different things
Very often people glorify extremely untalented people: Everyone in politics.
3 replies
It's from the same root. I mean that there is likely an evolutionary instinct behind it all. Doesn't mean that it's correct. But the point is that the quality this ability is that it determines welfare and survival of everyone. From picking the wrong person to marry, to picking worst politicians as your leaders, lacking in this ability leads to a downfall.

Not even that tbh, a lot of politicians simply leech from other politicians who made a name for themselves. Just be part of the family and your life is set already.
I wouldn't because i don't find it a particularly healthy lifestyle to be a fraud. I would be paranoid into being debunked at all times and would also want to live a life where i actually produce something of value.
I know a lot of people would be ok with having their entire life be a lie, but i particularly would find that exhausting and not fulfilling.
This is why I glorify the hummingbirds that I feed instead of human beings. People suck, animals are cool.

Jesus is a god so, you know, its kinda understandable for those who believe?
Muhammed same thing, not a god but one heavily favoured by divine providence.
They are supposed to be perfect(in case of jesus) or almost perfect in the case of Mohammed, and, surely, since they are religious figures, they aren't here on the earth to show their potential flaws.
However idolizing regular humans is an alien concept to me.
