Optimistic

You bet I'm proud of being in an anthology called "What Are You Optimistic About? - The world's leading thinkers lighten up". Not just because optimism goes quite well with my current mood and situation. But also because being thrown together with the likes of Steven Pinker, Richard Dawkins, Jared Diamond, Craig Venter and Freeman Dyson is quite flattering in kind of a hubris way. Is there genius by association? Rather unlikely, but I'll just bask in it for a moment anyway.
