Apopheniomania
A neurocentric version of apophenification, treating pattern detection as a brain glitch—hyperactive dopamine, faulty Bayesian inference, or overactive temporal lobes. Apopheniomania reduces all meaningful pattern recognition to neural noise, ignoring that humans (and animals) need pattern detection to survive. It is common in evolutionary psychology and neuromania circles. Critics argue it is a performative contradiction: the claim that pattern detection is neural error is itself a pattern detection claim.
Apopheniomania Example: “The apopheniomaniac dismissed her research on systemic racism as ‘your pattern‑seeking brain misfiring.’ He was so busy neuro‑splaining he missed the evidence.”
