Anonymous Coward User ID: 82879463 Canada 09/27/2022 09:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So basically the question is are you are realist or not? Because optimism is the ignoring of reality and living in a state of hopium and copium. And pessimism is the ignoring of reality and living in a state of anger and depression. Both equally ignore the reality at hand. Because in reality, all possibilities and outcomes exist. Whether you like it or not, or whether you want to live in a fantasy world or not. |

We grew up on The Bad News Bears, Rocky, The Karate Kid, we actually witnessed "The Miracle on Ice". We also witnessed and probably voted in the greatest president the United States has ever had. That was some real ass underdog shit. Crap |

(OP) User ID: 82694641 United States 09/27/2022 10:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no way on God's green earth that 3/4s of people are "realists". 3/4s might be liars, but certainly not realists. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76873815 I'm 67 years old and have had several different careers (retired) in distant areas. I think a more truthful assessment of the percentage of realists would be 20%--at best. No doubt some confuse being a sniveling anus caresser with being a realist--it is not the same. Such people seem to be the majority now. Perhaps 40-50 years ago most were realists than not, but it is a far different world today. Crybabies, suck asses and fake optimists on Prozac are the norm. You are correct, but this is GLP. :memorybanner: |

It is an empty, vapid philosophy signifying nothing and that precludes any hard intellectual thought. Last Edited by Secretizer on 09/27/2022 10:23 PM |

Maybe “realists” are more likely to respond to such a poll. Pessimists will be worried about data mining and optimists have no reason to be on this site to begin with and are outside chasing butterflies. Either way - it’s a small sample. And “realist” is an ambiguous term. |

Other than divine intervention there is no way anything good will come to anyone who is good in the next 20 years minimum. |
