Who is thezvi? For the record, I'm fine being labeled a hero so long as nobody expects me to do anything about it 😇 thezvi.wordpress.com

Also a true hero in Zvi's definition is a hero for no one other than themselves, which I think describes you perfectly

His definition sounds like a samurai to me.

I dunno. I'd say that trying to be the best chess player on earth is heroic, trying to be the best uno player on earth is premium mediocre

That's a useful distinction I feel?

I want to call it hero, but I think it's about the core of the desire. Seeking easy superlative status is sociopath, and Magic isn't easy

Seeking skill is heroic, seeking status is sociopathic

This distinction feels like an answer to a question I have never asked. :B

Samurai might be on target. He referenced musashi in constructing his definition in one of the links
We're talking mythological samurai though, not historical samurai. Historical samurai were 100% social climbing rich sociopaths
