I’m a fan of abidance in casual, non-insistent “pro-noia,” or the idea that existence is conspiring on my behalf. There’s no way to definitively prove it, nor is there a way to prove the opposite. Regardless, it brings me peace to assume that in the long-term, pro-noia is the default reality. The implications that arise from other possibilities–that I must remain paranoid, constantly weigh odds and scenarios ad nauseum–simply doesn’t appeal to me. I’ve lived that for decades, and I don’t have a desire to keep on doing so.
Arguably, my view may be outwardly impractical, but inwardly, there is no argument, as it has proven to be sound in my personal life. Anyways, I’m not inclined to argue, so I’ll leave the debate to folks who wish to muck around in that particular rabbit hole.

Perfect union of contrary things seems to entice always back onto itself provoking or beckoning. I sense the silence has a ring that accumulates to something more or less than forced purpose. Yet again I find myself assuming till such is eradicated by another distinction.

Seems utterly practical to me … And much less stressful than assuming that everything conspires against one. 👍 As a philosopher at heart, I do like to ‘muck around in that rabbit hole’, and it seems the idea may have real merit, too. Perhaps even negativity can be self-fulfilling.

Indeed! Perhaps we are given so much power that we can generate an illusion of powerlessness.

I’d take a firm stand on such a state of the Universe, but I’m a bit superstitious about this concept.

Your words have proven quite prophetic for you and others. Really, who has time to waste while parked above another rabbit hole.

Do you ever get the feeling that random encounters in life are like NPCs, just sort of there to fill in the space or nudge things along in subtle ways?

I do, sometimes. I’m not even sure randomness exists…

A timely post. I’ve about made up my mind that ALL inanimate things are hostile!

Thank you for an eloquent explanation of the phases I seem to cycle through all too often. It’s amazing sometimes when someone can explain so effectively something you have known all your life (my labile tendency to move between pro-noid and paranoid states). I appreciate the different viewpoint and the awareness it brought with it!
