Why are Farcaster builders so optimistic when X, Y, and Z bad things exist?

My brother, bad is the default. 

It’s entropy.

Failure is the most likely outcome when building something new.

If you’re not a definite optimist, you’ve got no chance in making it happen. 

Even if you’re a rational person, you have to be willing to suspend belief just enough to make the bet despite all the bad.

And then it’s just week of week progress and try not to die (mostly figuratively). For years.

Being optimistic and able to quickly pivot is the key to success imo.  I’m a scientist irl and I follow the science, it never works how you expect it but what makes a good scientist is the ability to pivot and keep moving forward.
