There Are No Heroes
Society has no heroes. They are all fakes who are out for their self-interest. There are no heroes. Your heroes are dead.
Society’s Myth Of Heroes
Society wants you to believe that heroes are coming to save you. That is a myth. This makes you stay stuck where you are. You will want them to solve your problems for you by making changes within society. When you think there are heroes in your culture, you are not interested in trying to better yourself.
You may trust in “leaders,” “experts,” and “authorities.” You may trust the institutions. You may think they are they to serve you. They are not there for you. They are there for themselves and to benefit the people in charge of them. There is an incestuous relationship between the big corporations, lobbyists, and the politicians who make up the government.

Popular People That Society Portrays As Heroes
Society portrays certain people as heroes to ordinary people. These people you are most often told to respect because they hold high-level positions or public positions, from managing the economy to writing legislation that affects your daily life. Popular people that the culture props up as being heroes are:
Politicians
Public Officials (CDC, FDA, CIA, FBI, Federal Reserve, et cetera)
Celebrities
Artists/Musicians/Bands
Mainstream Media Newscasters
Influencers (B-Class Celebrities)
Big business leaders
Academics
Preachers
Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)
Charities
Political Activists and Movements
Social Activists and Movements
Police Officers
Military
Et cetera
Here are some things that the “authorities,” “leaders,” and “experts” told you over the past couple of years or currently are doing, just as a reminder:
Inflation is transitory
You can save money by skipping breakfast
Save money by letting your pet die, selling your car, and eating lentils
The vaccine is safe and effective
Two weeks to flatten the curve
We’re all in this together
Being told that you are an essential or a non-essential worker
You will own nothing and be happy.
Secure Single’s Algorithm recommends:
How did the past ones work out for you? Do you really want to get rid of your pet, skip a meal, and accept by dictate that you are an essential or a non-essential worker? Why do you still listen to these people?
Maybe we should be talking.
All of these people are out for their self-interest. Some are more honest about it than others, such as celebrities and influencers. The more manipulative people are the ones who hide their self-interest behind things that sound nice, like being a “public servant” while they get rich, making backroom deals with lobbyists.
Self-interest is natural. The problem is when you lie to yourself and believe in myths like “public servants,” “greater good,” and the “public interest.”
Hollywood Heroes
Hollywood and television shows push the hero and superhero myths:
Spiderman
Batman
Superman
Wonder Woman
Iron Man
Black Panther
Captain America
Wolverine
The Hulk
The Punisher
Et cetera
These movies and shows teach you from a young age that heroes are out in the world. That they exist, even when you grow up, you may still enjoy this fantasy; instead of it being a superhero, it may be a myth that infinite money can be printed without consequences, politicians can solve your problems, or that an NGO is doing good work in a foreign country.
These childhood stories about the hero planted the seed in your mind about the existence of heroes that you later carried into adulthood.
Your Heroes Are Fakes
There are no heroes. They are all imperfect human beings who only want to find ways to improve their own lives. Some may want to build a legacy for their family name. They are all fakes. They want you to believe the phony face they present to the public to help them get re-elected or to get you to purchase their latest product. It’s all a show. The sooner you recognize that it is all theater, the sooner you can start to fix yourself.
The sooner you accept that the people you are told to respect and trust are fakes, the faster you can work to improve your own life.
Your Heroes Are Dead
Your heroes are dead, but you have allowed them to be heroes in your mind. There are no heroes. They are all fakes. Heroes never existed, to begin with.
It does not matter if they exist in real life, on the screen of Hollywood, or the small screen of a Netflix series. They live in your imagination. You are projecting your expectations of what you think the “leaders,” “experts,” and “authorities’ are supposed to do. You then ignore their actions' consequences to continue living in a fantasy world. These people then gaslight you while you continue to put your trust in them and their broken solutions. All the while, they never had any interest in helping you. They were always out for themselves, and they never cared about you.
You can continue to disregard reality for as long as you want, but you cannot escape the effects in your daily life.

Be Your Own Hero
No One is coming to save you. You must be your own hero, and you can start to act in your self-interest.
You can start to be your own hero by acknowledging that the people you respect and trust are all fakes, from politicians to celebrities to NGOs. They are not heroes because there never were any heroes, to begin with. You can now start working on yourself by becoming one percent better daily.
You can find ways to improve your health. You can choose to follow a diet. You can regularly exercise. You can go to the gym to lift weights. You can make a point to get sunlight and fresh air outside.
You can end relationships with toxic and negative people. You can work to improve your relationships with people in your life. You can learn soft skills. You could learn communication skills. You could find ways to be involved in your community. You can start to spend time with like-minded people.
You can find ways to increase your income. You could start a side hustle. You could learn about investing. You can find ways to legally protect your money and assets from being taxed. You could start a business. You could start a website. You could choose to invest in real estate. You could start a YouTube Channel or a TikTok. You could find creative ways to make passive income online. You could move to a less expensive state or country to save more money or as a Plan B strategy.
It is ultimately up to you to decide if you want to work on yourself, improve your situation, and become your own hero.
No one is coming to save you. Be your own hero. You can thrive as a single person!
