Does this expression look pessimistic? 🤔 #hopepunk
“Buddhist pessimism paralyzed India. State patronage helped it build massive centers of ‘education,’ but what use is an education that tells you that you cannot know the truth or improve the world to minimize suffering? Buddhism and its centers disappeared from India around the thirteenth century. Its sages were brilliant, but their pessimism prevented them from developing vibrant, political, legal, or economic theories and practices. They could not develop an interest in technology and science.”
