Pessimismo do intelecto e optimismo da vontade

"Pessimism of the Intellect means, simply, be a scientist: see the world as it really is, not as you might like it to be. Try to identify and, if necessary, overcome hidden biases or prior assumptions. Always ask yourself: What assumption am I making? What if it is incorrect? How do I know what I know?"


"Optimism of the Will means, have the courage to attempt difficult things. Sometimes, Will can overcome the odds."
