    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.
