Manifesto
America was built by people who believed things could be better.That sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget what belief really means. It’s not blind faith that things will work out. It is the thought that things can be improved upon.“There’s a way to do it better. Find it.” - Thomas EdisonOptimism is not ignorance of risk. It’s looking at something broken and assuming it can be fixed. The assumption may be wrong, but it’s the only path that leads to fast progress.It’s easy to be a critic. It’s harder to do. To experiment, to fail and try again. Pessimism sounds smart because it’s easier to see why things might fail. Optimism lets you test whether they do. Optimism may be naïvete, yet it is also the cog that fuels America.If America falters, it won’t be because we ran out of ideas. It’ll be because we stopped believing in our capacity to execute them. We still have intelligence, talent, monetary capital, but we are losing the spirit that utilized these strengths into growth.The optimist’s job is simple: to believe.In the end, it’s that belief that holds our broken world together.America is a venture worth saving.
