このコンテンツについて
Cynicism feels safe. It protects you from disappointment - but it also keeps you from possibility. In this episode, I explore why so many of us mistake pessimism for intelligence, and how our ancient survival wiring still shapes the way we see modern risks.
Drawing from Naval Ravikant’s philosophy, we unpack the biological roots of pessimism, why your brain is designed to expect the worst, and how to rewrite that mental code to stay skeptical but optimistic. Because in a world where failure rarely means danger - and usually just means data - optimism becomes a strategic advantage.
If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’m just being realistic,” this episode will challenge you to ask: realistic about what - your limits or your potential?
🎧 Topics covered:
• Evolutionary psychology behind pessimism
• The difference between cynicism and skepticism
• Why optimism isn’t naïve - it’s necessary
• Naval Ravikant’s mindset on failure and iteration
• How to stay grounded but hopeful in uncertain times
Listen, reflect, and share it with someone who hides behind their “realism.”
