virtual optimist

A virtual optimist is a person who portrays a positive and hopeful future on social media, while generally not doing anything in real life to impact that future, expecting it to happen on its own.

1. You need to stop being a virtual optimist, this neighborhood hasn't improved in the last 20 years and keeps getting worse, since no one cares to do anything about it.

2. "Don't just migrate to another country!"
"Why not?"
"Things are going to be way better in 10 years time"
"Yeah, says you and every other virtual optimist out there!"

Monday Morning Optimist

A term used to describe someone who is optimistic in such situations where a majority of people (or, just one particular person) do not want to hear optimism because it is unwelcome; such as Monday morning in an office enviorment.

This term can also be used outside "the office" to describe someone who just might be too optimistic.

Person: I hate Monday mornings.
Optimist: Oh, but it's the start of a new week, the beginning of a new day! Isn't it beautiful out?
Person: You're such a Monday Morning Optimist... it's annoying.

optimisticism

A combination of optimism and mysticism. When a philosopher or undergraduate student or other fanatical thinker comes up with a proof for why life is not a chaotic series of meaningless events ending in death. There are always serious problems with these arguments, so "optimisticism" always carries a negative connotation, similar to quaint or foolish.

Hegel's arguments for why mankind will one day see the realisation of the full freedom of the "spirit" in the real world add up to nothing but optimisticism.

The hippies thought they could create the perfect world with their optimisticism.

The president's speech was littered with the usual optimisticism about the "free" market.

Optimistic Capital

Literal: Characterised by or reflective of a positive outlook on the future, believing that the best possible outcome will happen.

Contextual: When you've got more faith in your startup's future than a kid in a candy store. It's the entrepreneurial spirit that sees the glass as not just half full, but overflowing, no matter how many investors say otherwise.

Balanced Perspective: While their optimism fuels their drive, they also navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures they're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. They celebrate their optimism, but their strategy meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for unexpected challenges.

Optimistic Capital /ΛŒΙ’p.tΙͺˈmΙͺs.tΙͺk ˈkΓ¦p.Ιͺ.tl/

Literal Definition:

Capital that is invested with patient, hopeful and positive outlook on the future success of a venture, particularly in the early stages of a company's growth. It’s the kind of investment that come from belief in first principles of scaling on the potential of a small business in a very large market and the human beings behind it, beyond just the numbers on a spreadsheet.

Expanded Contextual Definition:

In the grand chess game of business and life, capital is not just the coins in our treasury but also the knights and bishops of our strategy. It encompasses human capital (the skills, knowledge, and expertise of the people that we have access to), social capital (the networks, relationships, and social interactions that facilitate opportunities and collaboration), and more.

While optimism fuels drive, it is also important to navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures we're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. We celebrate optimism, but our meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for the unknown.

Usage:

"Did you hear about that super cool coffee company in Bangalore? They just got a round of Optimistic Capital. Now they're all set to turn their coffee grounds into money and magic."
