Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society

  Well, that would be fair, except I’ve stated no preference for pessimism:))

  I’d argue that your tone throughout the post says otherwise, but if I misinterpreted that, the only word I would change is the “you” in the last sentence to “pessimists”. As not to point fingers, but the point still stands

    I honestly don’t know which to which “you” you’re referring, it’s in neither the last, or the second-to-last paragraph. :-?

        Oooh, I got it now, sorry!

        I’m not saying Pessimism can’t be taken to the extremes (same as some Optimists believe that Optimism is best, which is arguably why we’re still neck-deep in crap, but I digress). I wasn’t arguing for that, though, I was arguing for a healthy inclusion of Pessimism in our thought processes, just as we should do with Optimism.

        Also, funnily enough, this is exactly why the thought hit me, I was thinking about just jow many people oppose Pessimism without even considering its worth, based on generalised preconceptions:))
