The Principle of Optimism

The principle of optimism is that all evils are due to insufficient knowledge. The more so if the story can also manage to undermine the principle of optimism, thus just as rational memes evolve towards deep truths, anti-rational memes evolve away from them. If you believe that certain problems cannot be solved then that is a kind of anti-rational meme and it's an undermining of this principle of optimism. In order to get rid of the evil part we need to create the knowledge in order to do so. That's always possible with sufficient effort, creativity and so forth.
