Astrophysicist (UC - Berkeley) wrote chapter
on "WHAT ARE YOU OPTIMISTIC ABOUT?"
edited by John Brockman
In the face of bleak scientific forecasts
and inevitable erasure of achievement,
how is one to find a more optimistic
philosophy?
Courage,
Optimism
Hope
Firm belief that humans have potential for greatness
. . .I (George Smoot) personally am an
optimist in many ways. . I invest time and effort
in my work and my health. . .Investing in
yourself and in others is the hope for the
future. The genius works produced by the
great writers, activists, artist, musicians,
scientists are proof of the power of the
human spirit and what can result when innate
talent is combined with hard work and devotion.
I look forward to the immediate future,
as a part of the human slog toward a better
culture and a better society in spite of the
constant flux of misguided craziness.
