Paranoia
This episode features ideas intolerable to the ego. From George W Bush bombing the Middle East, to the bloke in the office who complains about everyone else being rubbish, we are all paranoid. But is this such a bad thing? Is it better to understand your paranoia, or live in perpetual defence? Who should take responsibility for their own paranoia…? It's not me, it's you. We discuss: Anxiety from within and without. How the subconscious creates a paranoid perspective. Why this is comforting/cathartic. The process of recognition. Individual and societal paranoia. Bullying. Resentment of institutions. Quotes from 'Paranoia' by David Bell, which is an excellent short book.
