Weird Pessimist stuff can read as “what a perverse jerk”; Weird Optimist stuff reads as “what a clueless prat”. Foolish. Silly.

Most online content I see is fights between different factions of Weird Pessimists, with Normal Optimists stepping in to tell others not to be so “negative” or to add jokes, cute animals, or promotional materials.

Once in a while Normal Pessimists pipe up to tell everyone how much they suck.

HPMOR and the LessWrong Sequences were firmly Weird Optimist, which is why I think they’ve gotten so much flak in recent years. Robin Hanson, though, has always been Weird Pessimist, like most public intellectuals. And EA is a Normal Optimist movement.

Crooked Timber and Harper’s are Weird Pessimist publications. Most academics in the humanities are Weird Pessimists.

This makes me think
@rivatez@HipCityReg@webdevMason@visakanv They are resurrecting Weird Optimism!!! -
Kinda, but it's hard to get the aesthetic quite right. Too much "anti-PC" stuff and you slip into Weird Pessimism; too much performative "mental health and emotional maturity" and you slip into Normal Optimism.

I feel like this might be changing now, as in within 2019-ish. I've been getting a vibe lately from things like the popularity of wholesome memes that people are celebrating unironically liking things a lot more than a few years ago (maybe that's just me though).

Usually "wholesome memes" are Normal Optimist IMO.
