Why Alexander adopted Persian culture over Greek one ?

[Gathin]

It seems he was more Persian culturally than Macedonian with Greek culture to me.

Part of the process of going nuts I think.

The Vast majority of his empire was more Persian than Greek,

The Alexander's Empire was basically a new Macedonian top level placed on top of the Existing Persian Empire. Making minimal chnages to teh way the empire worked/governed was going to minimizse friction. Wholeslae chnages to society would have made running the Empire harder (at least in teh short term)

Is it true that he was obsessed with Persian culture even before the persian expedition? I've read somewhere, though I don't remember how authoritative that claim was.

The bulk of his territories were formerly parts of the Persian Empires so made sense developing and adopting the culture of the ruled over people to some extent.
