Paranoidlia
Description
Paranoidlia is a type of illusion involving the misidentification of random planetary features as being objects crafted by otherworldly intelligence, and then attributing the "cover up" of said misidentification to some sort of conspiracy theory. Examples include Richard C. Hoagland's Face On Mars, Richard C. Hoagland's Iapetus analysis and Richard C. Hoagland's personal vendetta against MSSS' Michael Malin. While Hoagland's paranoidlia "skills" are second to none, others may also easily find familiar patterns in meaningless images created by random and chaotic forces and attribute their lack of recognition by the rest of humanity to agencies such as NASA, JPL, the CIA, NSA, "New World Order", and/or "Illuminati". This phenomenon can also provide an alternative explanation for many apparently unusual events, such as UFO sightings, chemtrails, 9-11, and the "fixing" or "stealing" of Presidential elections in America. In a sense paranoidlia is not a misrepresentation because there is no objectively valid interpretation for those afflicted. Once the interpretation is fixed in the mind it might be impossible to see something else. In a clinical environment psychologists encourage paranoidlia by showing patients photos of various moons in the solar system to gauge their reaction. (now known as the Hoagland Test). The accepted course of treatment for paranoidlia is a straitjacket and padded room, or, in extreme instances, public ridicule and scorn.
