Stay optimistic? How about stay realistic? Lets not dream of fantasies but rather attempt to make accurate predictions unfettered by the biases of optimism or pessimism.

There is a line that can be crossed if I make a prediction and say that by 2100 humanity will become as powerful as Gods. That statement is ludicrous when judged by common sense. It is not unrealistic to the say the same of having ALL diseases cured by 2100.

I'm basically "rolling my eyes" at your comment.
