> I don't now if this was simply Pratchett's standard cynicism / semi-jaundiced take on humanity
It’s Pratchett, so most probably a bit of each. Plus a healthy dose of piss taking.
As a side note, I would not use “cynicism” for Pratchett. Whilst there is some of it, cynicism has become associated with mindless reactionary contrarianism, which is very, very far from Pratchett’s general optimism.
