Optimum is not a buzzword, but a clearly defined concept meaning "best possible". The opposite is pessimum, worse possible. Hence optimism and pessimism : this world is the best, or worse possible... This one just shows your ignorance. All the rest shows your ignorance of austrianism , and i have no time, nor will, to teach you. Just read
