You shouldn’t be overly pessimistic or optimistic about things: you should try and be realistic.

Edgelords that try to be intellectual. Almost always an attempt to universalize and turn their personal experience of depression into a metaphysical principle.

The law of attraction is the New Thought spiritual belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life.[1][2] The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are made from "pure energy" and that like energy can attract like energy, thereby allowing people to improve their health, wealth, or personal relationships. There is no empirical scientific evidence supporting the law of attraction, and it is widely considered to be pseudoscience.

I love the new meme argument. Second time I've seen it today, first time on this board. I can't wait to find out which youtube intellectual spun this sack of midwit gold. If its just a Peterson line I'll be disappointed.

Are thoughts even observable? Come call it pseudoscience when you've actually tried to test it.

It is unironically mine, and I delivered it in a thread on Ligotti a few days ago. I originally gave it many months ago in a Schopenhauer thread.
I don't care whether you believe me or not. Calling it a meme does not make it any less astute.

Actually pessimists justify themselves by saying that they are realists: the world is full of suffering and the only certainty is death.
One should try to be a pragmatic. Reality is felt according to our mental states and they can be shaped by our volition.
