That is the conclusion of an excellent article on the psychology of human thinking by Chris Goodall writing in the Open Economics section of www.OpenDemocracy.net.
I found myself nodding in agreement right the way through this well structured and well argued article that describes, amongst many other things, why "Human beings seem to have a psychological predisposition towards believing matters will eventually turn out well."
Thoroughly thought provoking and definitely worthy of a full read.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
