I think this notion is both clever, and the very basis of paranoia.
It's like saying "if you don't think the devil exists then it's cuz he tricked you into thinking that."
It's like C.S. Lewis's "Screwtape letters," it's just silly.
And then why do I think it's silly? "Because that's what the devil wants me to think."
....Why do I think that my car can't talk to me? "Because that's what it wants you to think, their planning to take over the world and they've fooled you into thinking they can't even talk. Muawuhuhahahaha!" |
I understand this.
I mean more like why I carry a set of jumper cables though or why we got my wife a cell phone. I can see how you (or we) can think this paranoid.
It is tricky staying between prudent and paranoid.
You make good points I think.
