It's the way people are wired. They need a hero to look to. Now usually the outcome is better in the end when the hero is genuine not a mimic. I think "show, don't tell," is a good rule of thumb for judging character. It's even in the Bible as a parable of Jesus something like judge a vine by its fruit. In the early 21st century it seems judgements of business acumen have become untethered from actually making money by building a real product that is in demand by the market. At a certain point the game of shuffling money around as a shell game will become unsustainable. That's already evidenced in the high inflation rate we have.
