I have pretty much already concluded that optimism is bunk and I'm looking for disproofs, spot on. There is statistical evidence (that I can't be bothered to find now) that indicates that an optimistic outlook positively affects outcomes of all kinds. If I were as logical as I sell myself as being, I would be optimistic purely for statistical benefit. It just all feels wrong, given the totality of my understanding of the world.I think when you say optimism is irrational, you are begging the question
