Acharya Prashant responds to a student's concern about a liquor company recruiting at his IIT campus. The student found the company's claims of promoting conviviality and responsible drinking hypocritical, and was surprised that his peers were only interested in salary and job perks, not the ethical implications. Acharya Prashant explains that the company's claims are not false, but deliberately incomplete. He uses the analogy of war, which can be shown to have some positive effects like technological advancement, but that is not the complete picture. Similarly, the liquor company highlights the supposed positive aspects of its product while conveniently omitting the full story of the crimes, accidents, and health issues it causes. He addresses the student's surprise at his peers' lack of questioning by stating that they don't ask questions because they already have all the answers supplied by society. The primary answer is the need for a "fat pay package," a good life, a partner, and settling down. When these are the only goals, no other questions remain. He points out that the student's own initial idea of finding brave, passionate individuals at IIT was a "fanciful" and "witless daydreaming." The entire education system, from coaching centers to the IITs, is designed as a pipeline for placements, with the admission and placement offices being the only two relevant points. Everything in between is just a time pass to secure good grades for a better CV. Acharya Prashant broadens the issue to a cultural level, asserting that India is one of the least creative countries because its culture is rooted in fear and disrespect for the material world, often viewing it as an illusion ("Jagat Mithya"). This mindset leads to a "jugaad" (makeshift fix) mentality rather than genuine innovation. We are taught to be afraid, to surrender, and to not ask questions that might offend those in power. This fear of the unknown and the focus on an afterlife prevents us from trying to improve this world. He concludes that greatness and creativity do not come from holding beliefs, but from dismissing them through questioning. In a culture that stifles questions and promotes fear, greatness cannot emerge.
