Don't forget Taleb. Not sure if he's optimist or pessimist, but he's definitely not rational.

- muro 9y agoWhy is he not rational? I like his highlighting of hidden risk. It's hard to make rational decisions if you don't have all/enough information and there are plenty recent examples of unbounded optimism ending badly.
- geodel 9y agoI think it is because Taleb uses hard statistics to make counter arguments. A pop rationalist will tell us how things have become awesomely awesome over last few hundred years.
