A combination of optimism and mysticism. When a philosopher or undergraduate student or other fanatical thinker comes up with a proof for why life is not a chaotic series of meaningless events ending in death. There are always serious problems with these arguments, so "optimisticism" always carries a negative connotation, similar to quaint or foolish.
Hegel's arguments for why mankind will one day see the realisation of the full freedom of the "spirit" in the real world add up to nothing but optimisticism.
The hippies thought they could create the perfect world with their optimisticism.
The president's speech was littered with the usual optimisticism about the "free" market.

Get the optimist mug.A virtual optimist is a person who portrays a positive and hopeful future on social media, while generally not doing anything in real life to impact that future, expecting it to happen on its own.
1. You need to stop being a virtual optimist, this neighborhood hasn't improved in the last 20 years and keeps getting worse, since no one cares to do anything about it.
2. "Don't just migrate to another country!"
"Why not?"
"Things are going to be way better in 10 years time"
"Yeah, says you and every other virtual optimist out there!"
