      Optimism is the enemy of progress. It just feels like delusional thinking at some point, and breeds complacency

        That is 100% a lie, optimism is necessary to try to make change, optimism is the driver of progress.
        Pessimism causes apathy.

        So it’s the exact opposite of what you claim.

          Agree to disagree. I think optimism is exactly why weve done nothing. Fear is a powerful motivator.
