Life is too hectic once you are in a B-School of the stature of IIML (No, I am not bragging when I say that). Watch out what is happening in the life of a fresher, straight from an UG college to a B-School and struggling for survival here.

Human behavior and IPR

I realized something very peculiar about human behavior instead. According to me, it will be grossly wrong to call humans emotional beings. Most of them do not have even slightest of respect and feelings for other individual. We as a humans are just a bunch of selfish bastards who care for nothing except bitching. We cater to our self-interest with maximum sanctity and seriousness but invariably falter in caring about others. Inspite of this , human race has decided that the best way to progress is to work together and excel together. What a fucking hypocricy man! Humans are biologically morphed to look out for their self-interest in whatever they do. Barring few individuals, everybody is busy in an incessant struggle to gain maximum for himself, no matter what happens to others.

Another issue is intellectual property rights. I am a firm believer in this concept. I believe that human intelligence is rare and it should be handled very carefully. After all, it is an asset which has helped humans dominate the planet during their ecological history. I do not think there is any denying that humans due to their sick mentality have started abusing their very own most valuable asset. I heard from one of my friends in the corporate world, "Every thing is copy paste here". My friend, another preacher of IPR like me, is disappointed and is on the verge of leaving a plum job and go to the U.S. for a PhD. to do some original stuff.

These fundaes do not seem pragmatic to some people who really believe that world is all about negotiating and nothing else. They openly preach that "In the world you do not get what you deserve but what you are able to negotiate." I think any feeling like this is a basic hindrance to progress and must be discouraged. It may be important in dealing with the real world, it may be important to become so called "successful", but is certainly not good for the progress of mankind. If every person thinks in the same way, soon the incentives for real work will die down and people will be manipulating the present situation and doing nothing else. Real progress is achieved only when individual brilliance creates a new idea and the dumb people somehow realize the importance of it and let it stay. The final say is always of the majority (who are dumb), but somehow we have been lucky to make the progress we have made till now.

One more thing. Some of these people when give gyan to us thinking they are the most successful mortal in this planet, it really puts me off. I want to ask them that whatever fundaes they are giving us, how much productive are they. If they are so highly productive as you claim they are, why are you not one among Jack Welch or Steve Jobs. These people have a totally unconventional way of thinking and they have a respect for human brilliance. Steve Jobs because of his unconventional steps was recognized as among the biggest psychos of the world. He is definitely not pragmatic, according to the definition of the word, but he is definitely a highly successful person.
