Well, since crediting original words seems to be a theme for me, I suspect it came from Rob Brezsny who wrote the book Pronoia in 2009: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556438184.

I did my first Tonic Masculinity post on Rob, after he banned me for 100 years for saying men shouldn't be defining feminine intelligence: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/tonic-masculinity-and-feminine-wiles. I also was a groupie, of sorts, for Rob's band, Tao Chemical, and later lived with his brother for a couple of years. Rob was probably the greatest influence on my 20's.

Despite our rift, I've never met anyone with a greater facility with words or a more intuitive sense of empowering people through horoscopes. As I just looked his stack up, blocking me from posting as a paid sub hasn't hurt him--he's now at 71K subs. But I note that he's still in the stuck place where I left him. His latest is a liberal rant deriding the 80 people who unsubbed him for his endorsement of Harris/ Walz: https://newsletter.freewillastrology.com/p/not-sticking-to-astrology.

But Pronoia is an excellent concept and book. A homeless guy gave me my copy.

I wish you could have seen my face as I read your comment, Tereza. I must've looked like a cartoon character, double-taking over and over. You never cease to surprise me. 100 years? Lived with his brother? Homeless guy? 😂🤦🏼
