# Definite optimism still allows for unknowns [[A definite worldview means you believe the universe is deterministic]]. It does not mean that you believe that you’re omnipotent, which is the only way there could be no unknowns. The difference between definite optimism and indefinite optimism lies in *how* you respond to the unknowns. A definite optimist creates long term plans despite the fact that those plans could be wrong ([[Definiteness means that you have a long-term plan]].) An indefinite optimist responds to the existence of unknowns by not creating a long term plan at all.
