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.

Get the prenoia mug.Pronoia is a mental condition we should all have.
Pronoia is neologism that is defined as the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having a sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to help the person.
It is also used to describe a philosophy that the world is set up to secretly benefit people.

My pronoia kicked in when I realized that it only takes a few months to learn a new language, and not several years.
Now I feel more courageous to learn yet another language.

My dentist did a great job ... he filled my cavities with mercury amalgams, and then gave me a fluoride rinse. I don't know why my Naturopathic doctor is treating me for Pronoia ?!?!?
