It feels like being an optimist in this world must be absolutely soul crushing.

    I’d rather be correct than happy is literally my core philosophy.

    I have great disdain for the concept of ignorance is bliss.

      I’m not advocating for ignorance. We should still be as informed as we can be. Optimism and pessimism show up when there are unknowns.

      It’s ultimately best to be correct and happy, which is achievable, just not if you’re pessimistic.
