It's not hard to be intellectually honest and negative. Negativity also performs better than optimism on social media.

Much harder to be intellectually honest and optimistic with bias for action, willingness to fail, learn, ability to find the appropriate amount of signal in all feedback and then discard remaining noise, and most importantly, not quitting.

I LOVE those people who are intellectually honest and optimistic. They make you feel like anything is possible.

I was lucky enough to be surrounded by those kinds of people in my undergrad but they all moved to SV.  Maybe it’s easier to stay that way when you live in Cali 😂

I don't understand how you can live in California and be anything but bitter and jaded.
