I’ve always taken the tone to be “the world is as f’d as we choose to make it”. I’m an optimist?

“An optimist is someone who believes we live in the best possible world. A pessimist is someone who fears this is true.”

I forgot the source of that quote.

"The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. So I elect for neither label."
