I feel this is a good thing.
We have left the time of the guru. Everybody believed Walter Kronkite. You looked up to your heroes, and they were without flaw. (Hollywood made sure of that)
So, two things have happened, the internet has let us see into people's lives at a very fast pace. And there is a movement, a motion, a universal push, to become your own guru.
The end result, is this feeling of wanting to follow the guru/hero (feelings of nostalgia, or feelings of it is the way it should be, because of your past) and now knowing that we have to choose our own path and dissect for ourselves, our own information, and validate our own knowledge.
Its a hard transition. Keep a discerning eye out.
