Conditional optimism


Paul Romer observation on Optimism, "The practical insight is that there are two very different types of optimism. Complacent optimism is the feeling of a child waiting for presents. Conditional optimism is the feeling of a child who is thinking about building a treehouse. “If I get some wood and nails and persuade some other kids to help do the work, we can end up with something really cool.”What the theory of endogenous technological progress supports is conditional optimism, not complacent optimism. Instead of suggesting that we can relax because policy choices don’t matter, it suggests to the contrary that policy choices are even more important than traditional theory suggests.".

Unfortunately, some are insensitive, indifferent and resort to insane and idiotic behavior and put forth over complacent attitude and entertain unrealistic optimism with refrain of pessimistic grumbling about correct and cautious regulations that government has advocated in the interest of all. These well intended policy regulations and conditions are important and must be followed to avoid damage.

All the heaps of moral stories and discipline taught in all systems are of no use if people as adults don’t know contextually relevant PRIORITIES in life with an attitude of adjustment and a perspective to listen to and to cooperate even during crisis/ calamity.

India has only few problems.

1. Anarchy
2. Sponsor and supporters of anarchy.
3. MSM lobbies.

Govt which manages to check these will make India great.1 and 2 solve by ignoring minor privileges, 3 solve through counter narratives by SM armies and bring new taxes for media.
