>Pessimism is objectively unhealthy in a psychobiological sense.
Not him but i'd strongly disagree with that, if only because there are multiple kinds of pessimism, there is no single, clear, objective definition of pessimism.

I'm the anon from >>19718475, and despite shitting on antinatalism, i'd still consider myself a pessimist. From the perspective of the average redditor, i'd be considered a "hardcore pessimist", but from the perspective of an antinatalist i'd be considered an "optimist". Whereas i simply believe that the truth is somewhat pessimistic, in that i think reality generally sucks and is hostile to justice and happiness, but that doesn't mean you should become defeatist or apathetic about it, you should FIGHT reality to the best of your ability. This kind of gnostic temperament is a far less self-destructive/unhealthy type of pessimism, atleast i think so
