  • Can we defeat defeatism?

    I wanna know.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

    The only thing we have to defeat is defeat itself.

      No. We may as well give up

        I think we could be looking at a win-win situation.

            More likely a lose-lose.

              To believe we have any chance at all in defeating defeatism is to be hopelessly naive.

                              Faith breeds hope. Hope overcomes fear and thus defeatism. This forum is not big on faith. Therefore, no. We will not be defeating defeatism here. Way too many cynics.
