The Psychology that perceives Alien Killer Robots

The 'Burnout Self' is a state of emotional self affliction said to perceive pathological threats to the integrity of the world.

The 'Burnout Self' which perceives the world of the Alien Killer Robots has many parallels with Dali's surrealist device known as the paranoiac critical method.

Dali's paranoiac-critical method is described as a psychological moribund or a self-induced affliction which can otherwise be described as viewing the world through a perpetual lens of paranoia similar to that of  the 'Burnout Self'.

Paranoiac-critical method is the ability of the brain to perceive links between things which rationally are not linked. Dalí described the paranoiac-critical method as a "spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectivity of the associations and interpretations of delirious phenomena."

Dali said "I believe that the moment is at hand when by a paranoiac and active advances of the mind it is possible (simultaneously with automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion and thus help to discredit completely the world of reality.

Dali sought to create in his art a specific documentation of Freudian theories which he applied to his own inner world. He started a painting with the first image that came to mind and went on from one association to the next, multiplying images of persecution and megalomania, like a true paranoiac.

He defined his paranoiac critical method of irrational knowledge based upon the interpretative critical association of delirious phenomena.

Using Dali's methods it is possible to perceive threats to the world and/or commercial organization, working on limited behavioral data, projected over time.
