The Man Who Stares At Abyss

Let's be honest, most of the IITians overestimate themselves (present company included). As it turns out this is actually a desirable trait for management.

However managerial ineptitude is comparitvely benign compared to the scenario when to this hubris is added typical sanctimony of the jhola wielding leftist.

 The result is a self righteous man afflicted with Messiah complex, who even though doesn't know how to do it and who even though is aware (and in fact acknowledges cheerfully) that he doesn't know how to do it, will not be dissuaded from unleashing a revolution to "immanentize the eschaton" (as wonderfully put by Eric Voegelin), even if the end result is utter destruction of institutions and customs which faithfully serve the society.

This man romances nihilism, he earnestly believes that to save the village it must be burned.
