    That’s essentially what I’m saying, yeah. Its the relationship a “realistic” person has with ideas held/shared by an “idealistic”. That’s what gives the “realist” the idea that they must just be a pessimist.

      I’m saying there’s no such thing as a Realist.

      That’s a bullshit term that people only use to say “Any opinion that differs from mine is not ‘realistic’”.

        Ohhhh, in that case I completely disagree with your sentiment. We have different definitions of these terms. But that’s fine. I equate the term realist with pragmatist.
