pronoia   I know many of you here will have heard before about paranoia, and may even at times have thought in a sightly paranoid fashion. So you might be curiously surprised not to have heard of pronoia yet. Even as you read this, there are pronoids out there, and this sick and enabling mental trait is continuing to become increasingly popular. I wouldn't want any of you, after you've read this, to find this idea popping up at strange intervals as an unconscious explanation of the lucky coincidences you've probably noticed happening already.

Pronoia is the belief and sometimes conviction that secretly, behind your back, people are conspiring to help you. They gather in groups early in the day just to try to teach you things, and then make your day more enjoyable.

I know all of you have started to be aware what's going on or have allowed your unconscious to realise first, but I just wanted to warn you nonetheless.

Conspiracy memes work exceptionally well with people who are suspicious that there might be a more easily understood structure behind things. There is. People are out to help you.
