It could be a generalisation at my end, but from what I have seen and heard a lot of people with schizophrenia have a similar paranoia and my question is, is why is it specifically about someone (mostly government) tracking their movements? Why isn’t it about something else?
In: Biology
Corporations and governments are easier to rationalise having the power and capability to explain some delusional experiences people have. E.g. cameras in house, being set up by actors, having a brain chip inserted, many technology based paranoia.
That being said it is culture specific. E.g. in rural parts of india ‘black magic’ might replace ‘goverment’ as the rationale. And therfore being under a ‘magic spell’ might replace ‘brain chip’ as the subjective delusion.
It is completely normal to try and rationalise an intense subjective feeling/experience. And when you add in some really disturbing experiences like voice hearing, thought disorder, intense fluctuations in fear response, tactile hallucinations, cognitive bias (this list goes on and is unique from person to person) It makes sense that you would form an equally grand explanation for that experience.
