Philosophy meetup - Optimism and pessimism

Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Or is a glass half full is exactly that? Optimism is pretty straightforward (or is it?), but, as far as pessimism, it turns out that there is a difference between regular pessimism and something called philosophical pessimism. Let's talk about all that.
