"Which is why I'm not worried about..."

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Is there an opposite phrase for this? Where someone is never worried? Even though there are disasters all around him.

> Even though there are disasters all around him.

Isn’t this catastrophizing? I’m trying to think of an example where there are disasters all around someone that precludes them from navigating it. Do you have an example?

The parent was implying that if one prediction of disaster is false, then they are all false. So don't worry about anything. More of a head in sand approach to navigation.

Ah I see. So you're advocate that one pays attention to all possible disasters because one or more might come true, so be super vigilant all the time for all possible disasters.

From Voltaire's Candide. Doc Pangloss was always happy as the world was burning around himself.

I've heard it described as "Pollyannaism"

>As a result of the novel's success, the adjective "Pollyannaish" and the noun "Pollyannaism"[2] became popular terms for a personality type characterised by irrepressible optimism evident in the face of even the most adverse or discouraging of circumstances. It is sometimes used pejoratively, referring to someone whose optimism is excessive to the point of naïveté or refusing to accept the facts of an unfortunate situation.
