When paranoia is justified and has a rational basis, then we can just call it caution.

I had a long conversation with a friend about this topic a few days ago. Basically we were talking about when paranoia is good, and when it can cross the line into becoming unhealthy.

And then I get several ads about treatments for paranoid schizophrenia. I do not have mental illness in my family, have never researched it or showed any interest in it. I find it too much of a coincidence that I'd suddenly get ads like this shortly after discussing the topic. My phone was in my pocket during the conversation.

It's a real mindfuck. It's almost as if they're gaslighting- "Why are you talking about paranoia with your friend? You must be a schizophrenic person. Here are some ads for schizo drugs. We're not listening into your conversations in order to tailor your ads based on certain keywords. That'd be.... crazy!"

Why you think all these apps want you to give permission to access the phones microphone?

I'm waiting for the post heading that looks like "You know that silly fear about how you could have been a millionaire/Nobel Prize winner/sex god/etc but you were sabotaged by someone using common intrusive surveillance devices? It just happened"
