Presinoia describes a Delusional Disorder, a mental health condition where any political aspirant who suddenly and genuinely believes he/she has a chance of getting elected POTUS (President of the United States); when in fact, those chances are the exact same as he/she becoming the next Pope, or Czar of Russia, or the Grand Vizier of BoogaBoogistan.
Think of any marginal or fringe candidate of any political party who "announces a committee" to explore the possibility of running for POTUS.
In 2011, there are dozens of such people, mostly Republicans, but other political parties as well, who are political aspirants for the 2012 POTUS election cycle.
Sam Smith announced he is running for President. He must be suffering with presinoia. His chances of getting elected are zero.

Get the PRESINOIA mug.A white person, usually a hippie, granola, or wanna-be guru who uses words like "Father Sky", "Mother Earth", "sacred circle" and "four winds" to try to convince other white people how spiritual they are. These people can often be seen beating drums, wearing turquoise, and howling at the moon on weekends.

Get the Presinot mug.Prenoia (pree-noy-uh) "The joyful suspicion that it is one's duty to 'conspire' for the success of oneself; for the success of all other terrestrial beings, and the whole Universe."/Multiverse. -H A-
Classically, Paranoia has been known as the suspicion that there is a conspiracy brewing which is out to do one harm. It has even become classified as a psychotic disorder.
In the United States of America during the 1960's and 70's, Pronoia was coined and became known as the sneaking suspicion that the Universe is conspiring on one's behalf.
In his 1972 book The Natural Mind, Andrew Weil makes note of "Positive Paranoia" - the ideology held by those who psychologically tested as having a "W" or Whole personality type. These people were shown on tests to be mentally abnormal. In practice however, these were some of the most highly functioning individuals in the community.
In the 1990's, a European "Zippy" group appended the definition of pronoia to include that Pronoia is the sneaking suspicion that others are conspiring to help you; and you them.
Today, in 2008, I offer Prenoia to this tradition of memes to be defined as "The joyful suspicion that it is one's duty to 'conspire' for the success of oneself; for the success of all other terrestrial beings, and the whole Universe."/Multiverse.

Prenoia is the utilizing of ecological means which benefit all whom it effects. ie, The Campaign for Healthier Eating in America sponsored by the Institute for Responsible Technology which strives to share the health benefits of Organic foods and warn of the dangers of genetically modified foods.
