 In a world being overrun by the critical theories of Marxism (as in criticize everything) optimism is indeed an act of revolution.

 No.  The system wants to keep people inefficient.  Optimism is to create impact.

 The most beautiful thing about human be-ings is our agency, and optimism mobilizes agency in a way that affirms our Promethean legacy.

Doomerism is dysgenic, a vapid sigh that exhausts itself in the heat death of its own banality.
