The plot of the Iliad revolves entirely around Achilles asking the question of whether he belongs at Troy. Having been dishonored by Agamemnon, he no longer sees any reason to fight for Menelaus's wife when his own woman has been stolen from him. Also, Icarus was not a hero.
There's way too much wrong with this post in my opinion. Big Tech does want to look like heroes: Why else do you think Elon Musk is naming everything with the letter X and making his X bat signal?
I'm willing to give Elon Musk time though even if I feel like I've been picking on him a little. If you can buy a company, change its policies so you get accused of being a Nazi, and then you have to ask Netanyahu to let you go to Israel to prove you're not a Nazi, you can stand people saying that you're Elongated Muskrat which is a weird knockoff Wolverine. If I got famous I'm sure people would make fun of me and I'd just try to laugh at it.
However, isn't Big Tech one of, you know, the few holdouts against "critical theory?" Most of them don't believe it. Good for them! I'm going to feel like teasing them as long as they keep messing things up or just not doing enough, but I'd take them over the people who support Hamas any day.
I guess my motivation for writing that piece was that Big Tech was heroic for me until they deplatformed Trump. I haven’t thought of a way to follow up on that series.

Excellent points. Homer understood a lot more about heroes than CNN or MSNBC.
