The Stockdale Paradox

i want you to expand on this idea of the difference between pipe dreams and possibilities. Well, ou see, i think delusional optimism is our friend. But i would distinguish it a little bit differently. Like, i think hope is awesome. Hope is ndo't if you ever read the lord of the rings books,. All of the magic that the white wizards do is hope. They give hope. And all of the dark magic is hopelessness, is discouragement. Once you put a form on it, on hope, it becomes wishful thinking. It becomes premature practicality.
