I think Einstein said something like: healthy reason is rubbish that we gathered until 18 years of age. What is normal and what isn't is very relative. I bet if you told people 100 or 200 years ago about mobile phones or internet, they would laugh you out. What, you type a message on this device and it's received by some other device, even overseas?? Etc. Things like that they would see as a miracle or impossible. If they found you with such a device, they would think you're a witch or a magician and burn you. And don't you think it is possible that today you get injected with a microchip and they might control you and make you a serial killer? It may well be possible, or soon in the future. Don't know why they would target exactly No1 though, what is the special knowledge that he has, I would like to know. No1 has also an interesting point that the negative thoughts may become autonome at some point and form some kind of force that controls you. I think No1 just read too much though and these things are messing around in his head because he becomes focused easily on what he reads and it sticks with him like glue. If you read some book about conspiracy, it's easy to become scared (like I did after reading one), or even convinced that they might target you. And esp. No1 has the tendency to become fanatically obsessed about things he focuses on.
