> Should we expect this trend to continue, or will we ("educated" "sophisticated" people in Western society) return to celebrating the powerful and the successful like most other societies before us? This feels like a false dychotomy. There are various possibilities, not just two. I'm not in favor of celebrating the powerful and successful as many of them turned out to be sociopaths. I prefer to celebrate people of science, who through their talent and hard work advance our civilization, including victims, the powerful, and all the rest of us.
