“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” has been really true in the last decade. Steve Jobs really timed the “die a hero” right in 2011. The tech heroes who lived on have slowly all been recast as villains in the last decade.

Interesting that many replies seem to assume there is in fact a generally applicable absolute standard here, and that falls from grace are automatically falls into truer perceptions. Current perceptions of villainy are no more absolutely true than past perceptions of heroism.

There’s no absolute notion of heroism. It’s always relative to a prevailing popular narrative.
