an interesting anecdote on the pessimism aspect.
As someone from another northern european country, "pessimism" seems to be a phenomenon that is very common in most western/northern european countries. People are critical about radical ideas (usually for good reason imo) and blind optimism makes you look like a fool.
- jereees 6y agoI recently joined a Finnish tech company coming from a South American country. My “blind optimism” seem to be quite refreshing for my Finn colleagues :^)
- giovannibonetti 6y agoInteresting... Care to elaborate? Which type of company are you working at? What kind of job do you do there?
- ksec 6y agoI often wonder is it really pessimism though? I think they are more like "realism"? Not everything that is Anti optimism has to be pessimism. And it seems in modern world ( or in America ) both realism and pessimism are lumped together.
