“They are never as dumb as I hoped they were, and I am never as smart as I thought I was.”

Basically nearly every person who goes into a new situation thinking only they can fix it.

Burning everything to the ground is a way of demolishing something though.

And if your intent is to just destroy it, it’s a far more effective one than bringing in experts to slowly try to disassemble the giant jenga tower without it falling over.

You have to assume competence too. You may have good intent but that doesn't help if you don't really know what you are doing or are blinded by ideology or some wayward belief.
