It's an interesting article and I think the last paragraph is incredibly important.
My personal takeaway is to deal with situations as they are, not as you would like them to be.
If you are a very optimistic and positive person that could mean to realize the difficulties ahead and if you are inclined to see doom in everything it's realizing that things are not as bleak as you imagination makes them out to be.
- rightbyte 4y agoI am a real doomer on a society/political level and I am in the end suprised things didn't get as bad as I thought. E.g. I have thought the economy should collapse every year for 20 years. Not even Venezuela collapsed as bad as I thought it would. On a work basis I am a optimist instead for some reason. It is too daunting to realistically asses the amount of work needed for a project so I just start walking towards the top of the hill.
