@Daojoan@mastodon.social I'm not ready to be naive ever again. I try to keep a balancing act between enthusiastic "let's do this!" and cautious "but if it doesn't work, what's the fallback?".
Hope for the best. Plan for the worst.
Mindless optimism is at least as psychologically harmful as mindless pessimism in my view. Perhaps even slightly more harmful. I think optimism tempered by experienced wisdom is the better, albeit narrower and more difficult, path to follow.
