They seem to define cynicism as very, very different than what i was taught in school. I always understood the term to be a unconditional and holistic critique of human society arising from the belief that humans are capable of better behavior than we observe. the definition presented just seems to be a very specific type of pessimism. i identify as a cynic, so i'm a little sore.
