The cognitive tendency to perceive randomness, chaos, and meaninglessness even where genuine patterns, structures, or meanings exist. It is the conceptual opposite of apophenia (the tendency to perceive patterns in random noise). Where the apophenic sees faces in clouds and conspiracies in coincidence, the randomic sees only clouds when there are faces, only coincidence when there is conspiracy, only noise when there is signal. It's a form of chronic pattern-blindness that dismisses genuine connections as illusory, real structures as imagined, and meaningful correlations as mere chance. In debates, randomia manifests as the reflexive rejection of any proposed pattern as "just coincidence" without proper investigation. In science, it appears as the refusal to see emerging evidence as meaningful. In life, it's the inability to recognize the patterns that structure our existence—treating everything as random rather than facing the discomfort of meaning.
Example: "Despite a decade of data showing clear trends, his randomia had him convinced it was all just coincidence—he literally couldn't see the pattern right in front of him."
