I have listened to your article and then I reread it to fully appreciate it.
First of all, thanks for writing something profound.
Secondly, I agree that we cannot be optimistic but should be cautious. I have been reading about stoicism for a while, and I think being optimistic adds adjectives to what we are experiencing. The same goes if you are pessimistic; you change the perception by adding weight in one way or the other.
I think that after the pandemic, people became more selfish. We have always been, as a group, selfish. Only this week I have seen people walking their dogs and not picking up the poop, or, just today, a guy removing stickers from the street that are protesting to make Spanish public schools better.
Why these people do not care about the others?
If we cannot do this simple thing, it seems we cannot do it better when things are complex and have more consequences than expected.
In summary, I think I am cautious, avoiding adding adjectives on the pessimistic side of the story. 1 reply
