"Optimistic thinking has long been immortalized in self-help books as the key to happiness, good health and longevity but it can also lead to poor decision making, with particularly serious implications for people's financial wellbeing."
- University of Bath
The ability to acknowledge irreconcilable problems and avoid them is a crucial aspect of species intelligence. Not every problem has a solution. Some must just be avoided altogether.
'That's Life' is a key example of ultra-dumb optimism. Numerous statements assert an ability to just suck it up and move on, but life is not like that. You kinda actually have to deal with shit, not just make believe that attitude can conquer all.
Insofar as music and arrangement, what do I even need to say? This is extremely talented musicians playing boring, predictable music for no other reason than socioeconomic necessity.
Too many critics today would just jump on his problematic misogynist ideas and pretend that is the only problem. No, fugk that, it is also extreme bore me.
