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.

This chart should /not/ be defining for an individual, but situational instead. I could see someone having indefinite pessimism about a single topic, but be generally optimistic person. Builders need to have optimism. Otherwise, they will have no drive to continue their project. They should also have people who are optimistic helping them. However, Builders also need pessimism around them. Insight can be gained or even ego stroked to help fuel. Pessimism may also bring to light challenges and blind spots.
