I’m currently taking a philosophy of science class, and have come to one conclusion–philosophers worry too much.

I’ve gone through numerous texts that always claim that a statement merely begs the question. Philosophers are never satisfied. Maybe this is necessary in some circumstances, but I’ve found that they are usually altogether too cynical.

Being a philosopher seems like it would take too many years off your life. Could someone perhaps point me to some optimistic philosophy? I’m sure there are tons out there. It just seems like pessimistic philosophy is more in fashion.
