These are known as delusions, which is when an individual has an extremely irrational belief, usually associated with themselves, especially seeing themselves as higher in worth than others. I personally have had experiences with delusions when I endured a psychotic break last year... It is honestly not pretty. I believed I was a prophet who was sent down by God to preach to the world about a new religion... Hope this helps!
Absolute equality will prevent individual thought and personal freedoms of expression. Television limits individual thought and creativity. Government control should be limited to prevent a threat to freedom. The fear of communist invasion is a result of government-controlled media. Paranoia leads to a repressive society.
