I think he means "optimist"...but says posimist (as in positive) instead. I don't think he could come up with the correct word, so he just made one up instead. Every time I listen to that boot, I just kinda shake my head because Ed kinda sounds like an idiot...when he's normally so well spoken.

He was also well into his bottle of wine, if not done with it by then.
I think he did it on purpose. Like a positive pessimist. But yeah, probably the wine speaking for making him think of it.

I always thought he said pacifists but that doesn't make sense. Pessimists seems correct?
Possomists?? Maybe you're the one who's drunk.
I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

Ed said something like "They say we're possomists." (according to you people...)
Why would people be saying the members and fans of Pearl Jam are optimists? Pearl Jam's music sounds pretty negative to me. I would've thought people would say they're pessimists and so Ed then said "Fuck the pessimists," meaning they aren't pessimists and then elaborating with his "dreams can be realized" comment. Possomists makes no sense.

You could say . . . that we're . . . eternal . . . possimists. Fuck the pessimists. Fuck 'em.
There's proof that dreams can be a good thing. There's proof...
Afterall, we played with the Buzzcocks tonight.

but what would that have to do with pessimists or playing with the buzzcocks? thats like saying that we're eternal chipmunks.
No its like saying....there are pessimists-people who are negative
optimists-people who are positive
possomists-people who are indifferent and play dead. Try to forget all of what is going on.
its liek saying we are eternally people who pretend that not all is well or terrible....just that we exist. And we will try to ignore some of the overwhelming negativity and the outrageously positive.

You'll have to ask Ed!
