Cynicism

Don’t you believe there are global problems?

I don’t believe you can manage your way out of them.

You can’t be cynical about everything.

Cynicism was a school of philosophy – did you know that? The original speakers of truth to power … That was a long time ago.

No one wants to listen to you anymore, right? But we do. Really, we do … Organisational Management could do with a few Cynics.

I mean why should the moving of Philosophy into Organisational Management be, like, the end of the entire universe? We’re a broad church.

It’s a hostile takeover of Philosophy, and that’s that.

Maybe you’ll turn Organisational Management philosophical.

Maybe.

Why can’t Organisational Management become question-worthy, or whatever?

Because it would destroy Organisational Management. The question of Organisational Management would swallow it whole …

Maybe our campus is too big … Maybe we’ve become too powerful … And we don’t ask about fundamental things.
