Mag G2K / NN, the awful awful art-world, politicians, west, east, xx, xy, xyz, etc. etc.

Probably the most telling point of likeness between the crowd-mind and the
psychoneurosis - paranoia, especially - is the "delusion of persecution."
In cases of paranoia the notion that the patient is the victim of all
sorts of intrigue and persecution is so common as to be a distinguishing
symptom of this disease. Such delusions are known to be defenses, or
compensation mechanisms, growing out of the patient's exaggerated feeling
of self-importance. The delusion of grandeur and that of being persecuted
commonly go together. The reader will recall the passage quoted from the
pamphlet given to me by a typical paranoiac. The author of the document
mentioned feels that he has a great mission, that of exposing and
reforming the conditions in hospitals for the insane. He protests his
innocence. In jail he feels like Christ among his tormentors.

Paranoia is not always so, however. Many times, if not most of the time, actually, paranoia is the result of excessive and arbitrary pain and suffering exacted on the subject. The world-view is thus skewed.

Actually that's not how it works. The excessive and 'arbitrary' pain is
the result of projected paranoia by others. That is dearest, it's a
co-resonance created by egoes, and what I wrote is exactky correct in
the sense that those I addressed this towards are actually perpetrators
of paranoia–and in general that it is an acceptable mode of
'expression' inthe artworld to enlarge, titillate and excite the ego
which literally creates an opporessive psychic atmosphere for all (among
other things).

And this ongoing activity on the lists is what I was addressing.
Paranoia can easily be dealt away with if one deals with one's ego,
but none of the 'addressed' care to do so. They simply want to flatulate
it.
