Excellent measured thread.
Quietly confident is a great place to be.
I have been burned very very badly -usually down to my own naivity -so am constantly looking at reality and looking at possibilities with sensible skepsis. The insecure part of me craves the optimistic though!! But history has taught me to stay real. I never expect anything to drop in a timely fashion, which is good. Expectations affect nothing. As DP rerereiterated in the interview, it is the science. It can only be, or it will ultimately fail. IMO it is an emotionally healthy thing to temper high expectations . Healthier to just have positivity ( or why invest?) and live with what is often a tsunami of not knowing.
( Psychotherapy is based on this assumption too fwiw). Often a hard thing for us , but it is ultimately embracing the truth.
Wait’n see . We are funded long enough not to fret.
