I see, we have different understanding of the word optimism to me it's positive outlook on things, the confidence things usually turn for the better where we work together to make it so. that's neither blind optimism, "lala no problems here, this is fine meme".nor is it naive optimism "oh ya negligible issues in that corner no real issues Pu bear" but hard working realistic "this ain't be simple but we'll make it work" I feel in good company with this general understanding, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimism and that's why I have beef with the downspin of the article, which overgeneralized a single funding in a narrow context to a broad rejection of hope, when you think about it.
