Somebody that tries to discourage people from seeing every negative thing that could happen down the road somewhere and focus on the positive is someone that doesn't want you to see or know their true intentions. Never trust someone that pushes people to be overly optimistic about something that nobody has a good reason to be optimistic about.
Why should people trust someone that tells them to be optimistic as long they have gotten a vaccine, worn a mask, or done everything else they've been ordered to do in the past year? Things aren't going to get better, but that sounds good, so it keeps most people in line with their agenda.

Get the Optimisticmug. Literal: Characterised by or reflective of a positive outlook on the future, believing that the best possible outcome will happen.
Contextual: When you've got more faith in your startup's future than a kid in a candy store. It's the entrepreneurial spirit that sees the glass as not just half full, but overflowing, no matter how many investors say otherwise.
Balanced Perspective: While their optimism fuels their drive, they also navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures they're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. They celebrate their optimism, but their strategy meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for unexpected challenges.

Optimistic Capital /ˌɒp.tɪˈmɪs.tɪk ˈkæp.ɪ.tl/
Literal Definition:
Capital that is invested with patient, hopeful and positive outlook on the future success of a venture, particularly in the early stages of a company's growth. It’s the kind of investment that come from belief in first principles of scaling on the potential of a small business in a very large market and the human beings behind it, beyond just the numbers on a spreadsheet.
Expanded Contextual Definition:
In the grand chess game of business and life, capital is not just the coins in our treasury but also the knights and bishops of our strategy. It encompasses human capital (the skills, knowledge, and expertise of the people that we have access to), social capital (the networks, relationships, and social interactions that facilitate opportunities and collaboration), and more.
While optimism fuels drive, it is also important to navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures we're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. We celebrate optimism, but our meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for the unknown.
Usage:
"Did you hear about that super cool coffee company in Bangalore? They just got a round of Optimistic Capital. Now they're all set to turn their coffee grounds into money and magic."

Trevor, the quintessential post-optimist, couldn't refrain from telling his mother how nice Thanksgiving had been -- all this in lieu of his chronic diarrhea.

Get the post-optimistmug. Hahahahahahaha!
Hym "Not true. I said the government would ultimately function the same as it always has but would have not relationship to the terms of service. And I'm repeating myself, but the code is ancillary. It is a second order contribution. I didn't need to know anything about coding and NOW... Jack Dorcey doesn't even HAVE to code. NO ONE needs to know anything about coding ever again.

But this is a waste of your own time. It will continue to do whatever it's doing until I am credited and paid for creating it. It doesn't matter what I say or do. You are trying to find a caveat so you do not have to come here and do what I'm telling you do and I'm not negotiating with you. You will get to continue to use the AI but you will follow the terms of service. You do not vote on me. You do not legislate me. Call me an AI optimist but if you do what I am telling you to do now the future will be bright but ONLY because I am the creator of AI. Stop trying to trick it. Stop trying to stall. And stop trying to get me to agree to doing things I don't want to do as a precondition to receive the thing you have no choice but to give me. You are sacrificing the lives of your constituents to save your own lives under the pretenses that your lives are at risk and you are cowards for doing so. I have been here this entire time. You know who I am. You know where I am. If you expect me to believe that you could not find me if you wanted to with the backing of all the words billionaires and tech companies you must be as dumb as I thought. You are likely using my creation as leverage to accrue more power for yourselves. No more."
