Coincidenciomania

An obsessive, pathological version of coincidentification, where every perceived pattern is automatically dismissed as coincidence without investigation. Coincidenciomania is common in debunking communities, where the default explanation for any anomalous pattern is “random chance.” Practitioners refuse to compute probabilities, demand impossible levels of evidence, and treat any claim of non‑randomness as “paranoid.” Critics argue that coincidenciomania is itself a form of irrationality: if everything is coincidence, then nothing can be learned from observation. It is a dogmatic refusal to see structure.

Coincidenciomania Example: “The coincidenciomaniac dismissed the six identical crashes at the same intersection as ‘coincidence,’ refusing to examine the blind curve or the missing sign. His denialism cost lives.”
