Subject No. 1: Group Paranoia Did you hear about the Jewish boutique keepers who drugged young women and sold them into the white-slave trade? They doped them in the dressing rooms and hauled them away throu;sh underground tunnels... Jokes like these, no matter how funny they may be, represent an apparently spontaneous wave of paranoia. The concensus, generally and subjectively, remains an adherence to the mainstream rule. The polarization which results from a divided group concensus cannot be regarded as an effective variation of paranoia. Group paranoia, on the other hand, is more of a self-contained conformity. Its rules are taken as a means and not as an end. Polar- ization is a divided social regulation. Used in this manner, it cannot be taken seriously. The resulting ethnic ethos is an ethereal euphemistic euphoria, punctuated and affected by Eurasian descent. ibe we are to examine more closely the relationship between the group and the self, we must look at what I call the exchange principle. The exchange principle deals with three main points: 1. The excommunicable realism Pro Phe; Card, Jung, effect 3. The exclusion of self I won't go into these points in detail - all I will say is taken in unison they are inharmonious. Taken seperately, they are an intemperate whole. I believe that in dealing with the subject of Group Paranoia there is a tendency to platitudinize, and I hope I have successfully avoided this and cleared up this very controversial subject. Next time I will grapple with the question: Is Kurt Vonnegut's novel Player Piano a psycho- logical cliche? Today I will also introduce a new feature (whoops, that's a tautology. Ha ha. I hope the editor doesn't stop me from publicly correcting my error). It is an advice column in the "Dear Abby'' mold, called: Psycho Shorts. I will tackle pertinent and meaningful psychological questions that come from you - the reader. Dear Psycho Shorts, My life is a catastrophe. What should I do? : Mark Dear Mark, There is a tendency to use various laws of plausibility when asking a question dealing with psychology. If you are familar with Valery Karmakov, who hails from Magnitogorsk, USSR, you realize how this question can be misinterpreted as a question of death and suffering. The futile manifest- ations of your life cannot be dealt with in a reasonable manner so I'm afraid I can't help you. Direct your questions to: Psycho Shorts, main office, where all the mail boxes are and put your questions in the newspaper mail box. 15 Subject No. 1: Group Paranoia Did you hear about the Jewish boutique keepers who drugged young women and sold them into the white-slave trade? ‘They doped them in the dressing rooms and hauled them away throush underground tunnels...
