Larry Brilliant gets optimistic

Sure, there are a million reasons to be pessimistic. Global warming, disease, wars, disasters… all reasons to lose hope if you aren’t careful.
But here, Larry Brilliant makes a great case for being very optimistic. Humanity has always risen to meet the challenges. We can rise to meet them now.

When safety fails will you be optimistically active or will you collapse in pessimism?

And in the process of browsing the TED site, I came across another optimism talk by Martin Seligman on positive psychology. Watch the above video first, but then an interesting follow-up is this video. Enjoy.
