>Optimism is cowardice

What did he mean by this?
>>
maybe because optimism is hoping rather than doing or forcing things to be the way you want? which i guess takes more balls and risk? maybe?
>>

Facing reality for what it really is takes courage. Being optimistic about the worlds future is being a coward by denying the true face of reality.

Nah, things don't work that way in Spengler's worldview.

I just realized baldness is the perfect metaphor for Spengler's thought.

>>1406332
OP, Imagine a man who is clearly losing his hair. His bald spot in the back, and his widows peak have linked up. He is balding.

The most cowardly thing he could do is believe people do not notice, or that the process will reverse itself somehow.

>>1406334
This is cowardice too. Buying a hair tonic, or a new shampoo or a toupee isn't gonna fix shit.

Just accept that you are so bald, and you're going to get balder.
