Paranoia has its downsides as an agency in daily life, or in the political sphere of collective action, which finds itself beset everywhere by the nightmarish influence of conspiracy thinking {they call it , but theories exist to be tested, and conspiracy thinking exists never to be tested, and globally ignores the results of tests imposed by others}. The suspicion that malign operators are responsible for every one of the injustices and heartbreaks of existence is a view, a balm to bleak glimpses of the void behind our reality. It's brave to pursue truth, and brave to pursue and expose tricky and well-hidden bad guys {Nazi doctors, Pentagon intelligence-distorters, etc.}. It's not brave to think tricky, well-hidden bad guys are the whole truth of what's out there. It might even be bravery's opposite. Or maybe it should go under the name "religion.
