Those who hate hard truths call it pessimism, just like those who are jealous of dedication call it obsession.

For framing and putting on a wall.

Arrogant statement. I've been a pessimist before puberty. I don't think it's because I know "too much." If I knew too much I wouldn't be a pessimist because I would know how to exist within the piss puddle that is modern life.

What a man would learn in 48 years in Twains time can be reduced down today, thanks to the age of information

It certainly is. Arrogance is the height of delusion and complacency. It's the fundamental building block of willful stupidity and obsolescence. It's bad for everyone but is most destructive to those who practice it. So it's kind of nice in that way.

Realistic self esteem is different than arrogance, isn’t it?

Well I’m not going to win a battle of definitions with an arrogant narcissist. Good day.

The trick to being smart and a genius is to realize that you are not smart or a genius.

I am often told I am a pessimist but I then reply that I am just more lucid/educated than most...

I've been a pessimist since grade school.

So true. Speak volumes about where we are now as a society, and to a larger extent, as a species. And it's not good. I am under 48, and I am certainly a pessimist. Although I look forward to the future of myself. I can't say the same for the rest of humanity. Not for women, and definitely not for the blue pill simps who enable them.
