The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.

your #pessimism is not our reality
if you know even a little of history, you know there's always a struggle. backsliding, wins, backsliding, wins, etc
always
and you fight
always
unfortunately in this world there are those like you who aid malice by giving the fuck up: #cynicism
but that's not the worst
you then plant your whiny useless ass in convos arguing hard for weakness, cowardice, acceptance of malice
no
fuck you
your spinelessness is not ours, loser

What people don't understand is that these fires, they destroy the only defense we have against the out of control global warming.
millions, if not billions of trees were lost just in the past few weeks and no amount of plantation will bring them back.
It will take years and decades for those forests to return to the condition they were before the fire and in the mean time, we keep increasing our carbon emission for useless crap like over consumption, war, useless technology with pre-planned obsolescence and obsession with global tourism.
We can't change our way of life, majority of people are just too dumb to be willing to sacrifice their comfort and "do as usual" lifestyle to TRY slowing down this existential treat to our lives.
We may just give up fighting and enjoy it while it lasts!

Pessimists are good at protecting what they have. But in terms of pushing society forward and creating new horizons, that's where you have to be an optimist.

"Very few companies are so good at shipping software that they can afford the extra risk profile (of an AI adoption project)."
Is why this conversation has been so difficult to have.
Whether AI has any magic or not, it is certainly not magical enough to fix what some teams have been doing.

The future of intelligent life on earth may depend on genAI and greed interacting to reduce the human population by a factor of some 6000.

🎖️ Oh, look! Another doomsday prophecy about military logistics, because clearly generals are just waiting for a blog post to fix decades of strategic planning. 😆 Who knew all it took to win a war was the power of pessimistic pontification and some sarcastic emojis? 🙄

MESSENGER: I have not now first learn’d that all
Th’ affairs of mortal men are a mere shadow:
Nor would I fear to say that those, who most
Boast of their wisdom and their deep research,
The widest in the paths of folly stray.
No mortal man is happy: if the tide
Of wealth flows in upon him, one may be
More fortunate than others, happy never.
[ἌΓΓΕΛΟΣ: τὰ θνητὰ δ᾽ οὐ νῦν πρῶτον ἡγοῦμαι σκιάν,
οὐδ᾽ ἂν τρέσας εἴποιμι τοὺς σοφοὺς βροτῶν
δοκοῦντας εἶναι καὶ μεριμνητὰς λόγων
τούτους μεγίστην μωρίαν ὀφλισκάνειν.
θνητῶν γὰρ οὐδείς ἐστιν εὐδαίμων ἀνήρ:
ὄλβου δ᾽ ἐπιρρυέντος εὐτυχέστερος
ἄλλου γένοιτ᾽ ἂν ἄλλος, εὐδαίμων δ᾽ ἂν οὔ.]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1224ff (431 BC) [tr. Potter (1814)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/euripides/84868/

It is amazing and wonderful that small, kind moments, and working with others on a common goal can bring you right out of your funk. Even if that common goal is No Big Thing. It is the greatest antidote to doomerism, which is the most powerful tool of our oppressors. Do not submit to pessimism, do not submit to those who wish to see you apathetic and defeated. Maintain optimism and hope if only for one reason: You have no choice.
