| | Hubris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hubris as a pejorative term is often applied in the political realm. | | | Hubris or hybris (Greek hýbris) referred in Ancient Greece to exaggerated pride or self-confidence often resulting in fatal retribution. | | | The "nemesis" (némesis), or destruction, which befalls these characters, however, generally comes from the gods, whereas hubris refers for the most part to infractions by mortals against other mortals. |

| | Laziness Impatience Hubris |
| | Hubris is the result of a great programmer's skills leading to tremendous success, widespread acclaim, such that they believe that they cannot be wrong; not even the gods could challenge their code. | | | Hubris in Greek mythology actually means "to intentionally diminish another's honor." The hubris used then was more inclined towards an insult. | | | Mortals comparing themselves to the gods or heroes, usually in contests, is the most common form of hubris in Greek mythology. |

| | Hubris |
| | The ancient Greeks called it hubris -- wanton insolence or arrogance resulting from excessive pride or passion. | | | It is the classic temptation of mortals who, finding themselves garbed in the unaccustomed robes of leadership or success, start imagining themselves bulletproofed against disaster -- and so tempt the fates. | | | How could there be when they're smarter, luckier, craftier and uniquely blessed by both God and destiny? |

| | Gnosticism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | According to Gnostic mythology (in general) We, humanity, are existing in this realm because a member of the transcendent godhead, Sophia (Wisdom), desired to actualize her innate potential for creativity without the approval of her partner or divine consort. | | | Her hubris, in this regard, stood forth as raw materiality, and her desire, which was for the mysterious ineffable Father, manifested itself as Ialdabaoth, the Demiurge, that renegade principle of generation and corruption which, by its unalterable necessity, brings all beings to life, for a brief moment, and then to death for eternity. |

| | That die has been cast, in part because we saw Iraq through lenses tinted by hubris, not reality. | | | Those who failed to bring peace to Afghanistan after 1992 are now repeating their failure by scripting government affairs and constitution-making in Kabul to portray the birth of Western-style democracy, religious tolerance, and women's rights -- all anathema to Afghan political and tribal culture and none of which has more than a small, unarmed constituency. | | | A confident and care free republic -- the city on the hill, whose people have always believed that they are immune from history's harms -- now has to confront not only an unending imperial destiny but also a remote possibility that seems to haunt the history of empire: hubris followed by defeat. |

| | Hubris seems to doom us; "al Qaeda sees the world clearer than we" (xxi). | | | Bin Laden's historical uniqueness comes from focusing Islamic resistance on the international level, on the U.S. The centrality of Afghanistan is due to a need for a new Muslim state as a world center from which to launch a new caliphate (140-44). | | | Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror (Brassey's, 2004; ISBN 1574888498) is a book originally published anonymously, but authored by Michael Scheuer, a 22-year CIA veteran who ran the Counterterrorist Center's bin Laden station from 1996 to 1999. |

| | It is also filled with instances in which the present administration basically blew it, especially in Afghanistan, which explains the interest of Kerry and his minions, who seem to have made some use of it in last week's debate. | | | The author of Imperial Hubris bitterly and repeatedly drives this point home, throughout his wide-ranging and brilliant book: a book that, I would argue, is the single most important and perceptive volume on the subject of the "war on terrorism" yet published. | | | In Imperial Hubris no sacred cow goes unslaughtered, and, for that reason alone it is worth a read. |

| | Once Scheuer, despite his CIA title, is introduced as a would-be scholar of Islam trying to decipher the same texts and statements "found in the public library and on the Internet," there is less reason to favor his minority interpretation over those of others, including the scholars on whom he relies. | | | That gave the publication a fortuitous timeliness: against the widespread criticism of American intelligence came Imperial Hubris, with the claim that the problem was not America's spies but its policies, which Scheuer and his colleagues could not control, and for which they ought not to be blamed. | | | In that book, however, Lewis directly addresses the central claim of Hubris: "What we confront now is not just a complaint about one or another American policy but rather a rejection and condemnation, at once angry and contemptuous, of all that America is seen to represent in the Muslim World." |
