Its not really optimism. I used to think that. But I've been watching world events unfold. We will either fail and fall face first and all slip back, like a Dark Age II, OR we'll get our shit together. Its pass/fail. And a timed test.
But if you did say run the scenario a billion times, then the average time would probably be somewhere between what you said, 500-1000 years because we'd fail more often than not.
Here's hoping we beat the odds.
