2022-02-15: Derangements of the InCiv Mentality
Belief that you are special; "Stellvertereter der Menschheit"
Aversity to risk, lest "perish the thought."
Suspicions that hordes of people have an automatic search to monitor you.
Fantasy life far more bizarre than Walter Mitty;
The need to impersonate the bourgeois;
Guilt over non-solution of the Control Problem;
Delusion that one's autograph is valuable;
Fear that one's relatives will have one committed;
Preference for cloning oneself over normal reproduction;
Sneaky ways of getting published, such as:
"Position Wanted" ad in Nature;
Pay for manufacture of T-shirts; dump them to charities;
Have a keen interest in movies that the general public has no use for;
Be suspicious that secret agents are monitoring one;
Own a large collection of AI sci-fi books;
InCiv picks up espionage tradecraft from spy books;
Life so boring that InCiv lives routinely by Moscow Rules.
