The sentence which precedes it in PNIN explains why: "... there is nothing
more banal and more bourgeois than paranoia." Orwell, in 1944, came to a
somewhat similar conclusion when he decided that despite all scandalous

one with severe sexual and other psychological perversions, like
necrophilia (in "Benefit of Clergy: Some Notes on Salvador Dali").
