# Optimism - Outline ### Main thesis - What am I trying to say? * The general argument that I want to put forward is that there are many reasons to have a deep sense of optimism. * In order to show this I must take the critiques of optimism *in their strongest form*, ### Resources * *[Principle of Optimism](Backlog%20Projects/Optimism/Principle%20of%20Optimism.md) * [Avoiding Blowup & the Rare Event](Avoiding%20Blowup%20&%20the%20Rare%20Event.md) * [Energy, Climate, Policy - An Epistemological Perspective](Energy,%20Climate,%20Policy%20-%20An%20Epistemological%20Perspective.md) * [Knowledge Creation and Planning](Knowledge%20Creation%20and%20Planning.md) ### Things that would help * How to captures "todo's" associated with a writing doc (could I add comments or something? You don't want to have todos littering the post or it will be very cumbersome to read) * Deutsch- any problem will introduce more problems (TODO: find out where he talks about this and make sure you can articulate it - it is important to keep in mind!)
