Do you need to be paranoid to understand the modern world?

[AngryCarl3]

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you

[ohsheeT]

No maybe just real and do research quit watching Tv because that's a big manipulation we're being told what
The people who really run our country wants us to know or believe.

You really see the evidence of that when election s come about because everybody sounds just like their Sunday morning political analyst

I quit watching TV like 6 years ago and it makes a big difference in what you see what you believe

#1) No, but it helps to have a functional brain that can discern truth from bullshit, i. e. think critically.
#2) If you believe everything in this world operates on honesty, equality and justice because "people are basically good", and those in power operate without prejudice, bias, control and manipulation, then you've failed #1.

Nah, you just need vigilance, critical thinking, and a healthy awareness of uncertainty.

You don't have to be paranoid but it certainly helps.
