"The opposite dementia to paranoia is called "clueless f_ck syndrome.""

I spent about half-an-hour trying to come up with a name for the opposite dementia, but came up with nothing save "dumbf_ckoia" et pluria genera alia

I don't know much attic greek, so i am not sure how to proceed
since they are out of their mings, "paranoia" actually fits the bill, but that word is taken.
I will see if I can kludge something together.

Oh, coloradan? If the afflicted are "sheeple" then I think the disease ought to be "scrapies" - the ovine variant of mad-cow disease.

Hoplomisophia comes pretty close, or is at least particularly intertwined. Since those so afflicted are unwilling to accept the possibility of particular threats to their existances, lives or way of life, they thereby develop a unnatural hatred for the inanimate objects that are tools for the protection of lives and self. The term is sometimes given as *Hoplophobia,* an unreasonable fear of weapoons or tools; but it is not just fear but hatred or contempt that is evinced, so that term is not entirely correct.
