The thread title is the name of a weekly BBC World Service podcast. How does that title come across to you?

Does it cause raised eyebrows or eyes to light up?

Where would you place yourself on the Pessimism < > Optimism spectrum with regard to the current state of the world and the prospects for humankind?

The upward curve, good prospects, and never had it so goodness being experienced by the vast majority of the 280 million people who live where I live is more than a match for the fatalism of the worn-out, jaded old 50 million British tubs stranded on the sand by the world's rising tides.

I'd locate myself midway between Ambivalence [in the middle] and Immense Optimistism [hard over to that end of the spectrum].

But I could be convinced that your fellow 50 million Brits are effectively in the same defeatist Fourth World boat you are describing yourself as being in.

I am an optimist.
