Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.

[The militia experts] accuse antigoverment agitants of paranoia, yet they spin around and claim that militias speak in coded phrases, have underground bunkers, and are secretly conspiring to take over the world and enslave minorities. They say it`s lunacy that men at the pentagon can conspire, yet they`re certain that farmers out on the plain are plotting as we speak.

They depict the United Nations as weak und ineffectual, yet they portray raggedy-ass backwoodsmen as the world`s biggest organized military threat.

Allen europäischen Staaten voran ist besonders der britische hinsichtlich seiner Schuldvermutung, die in den atemlos fortschrittsgläubigen Überwachungsszenarien aufscheint, ganz und gar paranoid geworden und darin dem Künstler Damien Hirst ähnlich, der in seinem Buch "Theories" berichtet, dass ihn in den 90er Jahren grenzenlose Panik befiel, als ihm klar wurde, dass seine Augen eine nur verschwindend geringe Prozentzahl seiner Körperoberfläche ausmachen und er ansonsten eingeschlossen in einem vollständig finsteren Kasten sitzt.

Paranoia is transmissible from mind to mind, but it does not go by the route of reason. It can therefore change its rationalization while remaining essentially the same.

I told myself: 'I am surrounded by unknown things.' I imagined man without ears, suspecting the existence of sound as we suspect so many hidden mysteries, man noting acoustic phenomena whose nature and provenance he cannot determine. And I grew afraid of everything around me – afraid of the air, afraid of the night. From the moment we can know almost nothing, and from the moment that everything is limitless, what remains? Does emptiness actually not exist? What does exist in this apparent emptiness?

Guy de Maupassant

Who's they?" He wanted to know. "Who, specifically, do you think is trying to murder you?"
"Every one of them," Yossarian told him.
"Every one of whom?"
"Every one of whom do you think?"
"I haven't any idea."
"Then how do you know they aren't?"
"Because..." Clevinger sputtered, and turned speechless with frustration.
Clevinger really thought he was right, but Yossarian had proof, because strangers he didn't know shot at him with cannons every time he flew up into the air to drop bombs on them, and it wasn't funny at all.
