I mean, I saw somebody point out, like, maybe this is why some people click with other people.

Like they share a literal brain pattern in the way that they think about the future outlook on life.

Whereas, you know, people who are like have lower optimism or higher pessimism are tend to think be thought of as like Mopi alienated off by themselves.

So they can't even connect with one another because they have varying brain patterns.

It's not like optimists all have one brain pattern and pessimists all have one brain pattern.

Optimists are the only ones that share the brain pattern.

I find that super fascinating.

No, totally.

And it also sort of lends itself to like if you're pessimistic, you may have a harder time finding a community because it's your own and not one that you share.

Yeah.

As you know, we're talking about health outcomes.

If you read, you know, especially like when you were saying like the earlier 2000s, when it was all this happiness stuff, like it makes it seem like optimism is basically just the key to life across every single factor from health to your finances, everything, your focus and your decision making and your motivations.

And a lot of that is true to a certain degree.

It's not a magic pill.

But there's no doubt that optimism is linked to better like literal health outcomes, better heart health, lower inflammation, better immune responses, sleeping better, overall mortality rates.

One suggestion is like, yeah, because, you know, you're not as stressed out and stress is the cause of a lot of that stuff.

So that just sort of makes sense.

Yeah, you have less inflammation, which is a big one.

I mean, that could explain it right there as far as health outcomes.

But also they're like, well, hold on.
