misuse the recognition of patterns in inane sameness epiphanies of apophenia misguided musings muddling our addled minds
wasting brainpower on fantasies of deities rather than scientific discoveries and emancipatory philosophies that could liberate us from the miasma of modern life
inquiry is free
"The human talent for pattern-recognition is a two-edged sword: We’re especially good at finding patterns, even when they aren’t really there — something known as false pattern-recognition. We hunger for significance — for signs that our personal existence is of special meaning to the universe. To that end, we’re all too eager to deceive ourselves and others." - Neil deGrasse Tyson
