yep, @bartread was railing against a constructed dichotomy (realist vs idealist) as if it represented the entirety of possibilities, forgetting that those idealized poles are fractions of every person's existence, not identities that confine each of us into one camp or the other.

the best visionaries (musk, bezos; not zuckerberg, thiel) combine idealism (hey, look at what could be!) with skepticism (hmm, why wouldn't that work?) to push the boundaries of invention.
