The belief that the world is conspiring for you; or, the opposite of paranoid.
Bob: Dude, this morning I found 10 bucks on the sidewalk, my classes got cancelled, and the milf that I hitchhiked home with made out with me. I'm beginning to get pronoid.
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.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
