Paranoia. Humans are doing everything on purpose in "my world".
I used to think it was so stacked against me that I could reverse the meteoric rise of oil's price ('08) by going long on it. (i.e. buying assets that would increase in value as the price of oil increased)
FWIW, if I had gone through with it, I could have (in the minds of many) claimed responsibility for its collapse a few months later.
Now my blindspot probably matches Gabriel's.
