Αντιγράφω από εκεί τη δημοσίευση #35 του sapere_aude, γιατί μου φάνηκε ενδιαφέρων γρίφος η λέξη pronoia.
(Αν είναι γρίφος μόνο για μένα και υπάρχει καθιερωμένη απόδοση, σβήστε παρακαλώ το νήμα...)
"pronoia = όχι πρόνοια, αλλά το αντίθετο του paranoia
Αντιγράφω από το www.worldwidewords.org του Michael Quinion:
Pronoia is the suspicion that the universe is a conspiracy on your behalf, the opposite of the popular sense of paranoia. It seems to have been invented by the sociologist Fred Goldner in an article in Social Problems in 1982, in which he defined it as “the delusion that others think well of one”, the unreasoning belief that your superiors think you are indispensable, that your colleagues adore you, and that you are doing brilliantly in your work. He was warning against the dangers of the rose-tinted view, in which an over-positive view of oneself and the world around one can lead to fatal mistakes.
[...]
Looking at these kids, it doesn’t require my usual pronoia to think that I’m glimpsing the future of this place.
