	abstract = {Cultivating a~dystopian imagination cannot be made from within the paradigmatic science of organization theory, hereafter paradigm. The source of the doom cultivation has to originate from the outside and be allowed inside as a~basic premise. Otherwise, the clash between the premises of the paradigm and nature cannot be overcome. In this article, I~position myself as an anti-essen-tialist, arguing that the world needs to be redescribed time and again (Czarniawska, 2001). Impor-tantly, there needs to be richness among the redescription attempts. To achieve richness in stories about the world, the pragmatist philosopher Richard Rorty had hope in the ironists (Rorty, 1989). In this essay, I~even put my hope in the ironists who are misfits, outcasts, and drunkards, and use the documentary {\textquotedblleft}To Stay Alive{\textquotedblright} and the musician Miland {\textquotedblleft}Mille{\textquotedblright} Petrozza as case in point.},
