"Creative" paranoia

[Terrance]

There are several forms of paranoia in GR. Remember
"operational paranoia"? It's is first mentioned way back on
page 25 and but it guides the actions of the characters in
section one. In the Zone, operational paranoia gives way to
Anti paranoia and mindless pleasure.  Here, in the
Counterforce, it is "creative paranoia" that is most
important:

 "Creative paranoia means developing at least as thorough a
We-system as a They-system--" GR.638 

But creative paranoia, seeking some Badass or golem, the
Hulk or King Kong, or William Slothrop, or King Lud, or a
counterforce, is a delusion. All we can do is sing, Now
everybody, 

As the liberty lads o'er the sea....
