Sam Sloma's Rational Optimism

Written by Victor Perton | Nov 14, 2022 7:38:14 PM

"I like to believe that most people are well-intentioned and want to leave the world a better place. That is where my #rational #optimism comes from. It’s also a far happier experience than being an eternal pessimist. Even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Nice essay by Sam Sloma, "At the Coalface: Sam Sloma: This feels like the time we can add real value"

Sam writes, "While I don’t know how the current problems in the UK are going to pan out, I do have rational optimism that this will pass, as it always has."

Like me, Sam commends "Hans Rosling’s book, entitled Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About The World – And Why Things Are Better Than You Think, for anyone who’d like some data-driven positivity."
