But really I think there is a lot of paranoia, I see so many people who are so afraid of repercussions that they post to HN with throwaway accounts.
I had a friend who thought she had some idea inside herself that was so dangerous she'd risk assassination if she got it out. She failed a few courses in her last semester of college so she never got her degree. She wanted to be a filmmaker, and she directed a few shoots that I was a cameraman in that were more complex than any shoots I'd ever been in.
She'd procrastinate on editing and completing films and frequently infuriate sponsors or anyone who contributed resources. She did flirt with death it turns out because she became addicted to opioids. Fortunately she got clean and she's still with us.
I'll tell you though that I saw a manifestation of unhealthy narcissism in her that was quite dangerous and when I see paranoia on the part of other people I wonder how much it is delusions of persecution, self-importance, reference, and all that.
