A recent convo between my colleague and me. I have never heard of radical optimism before. Then, I thought who better to ask than the folks at SN.
Have you heard of this term before?
I've never heard of it, although I know some people that I could call radical optimist.
reply
Me! Me! Me!
reply
Actually yes 😁
reply
I have not. Sounds intriguing.

Let me find out n get back to you
reply
No, what does it mean?
I will say that the most successful people I know are all optimists. It makes me feel bad because I am more of a pessimist and cynic. I wish I had the courage of conviction that the optimists had.
reply
So how have you managed to sustain in teaching all this while?
reply
I look at my pension formula 😅
reply
I was an optimist by default. Being a pessimist feels like a superpower in comparison.
