Description:
Your brain is a pattern-detecting machine. It finds faces in clouds, “signs from the universe” in random coincidences, and sometimes… massive conspiracies where nothing is actually there.

In this video, we’ll break down why the human brain is obsessed with patterns – and how that same superpower can both build science and fuel superstition.

We’ll explore:
• Apophenia and patternicity: why we see meaningful connections in noise and randomness
• Pareidolia: the neuroscience of seeing faces and shapes in clouds, walls, and emojis
• Confirmation bias and motivated reasoning: how old beliefs decide which “patterns” we notice and which we ignore
• Dual-Process Theory: fast, intuitive System 1 vs slow, analytical System 2 – and how they team up to create both genius insights and wild delusions
• How the same pattern-hungry brain drives art, science, and investing… but also superstition, bad decisions, and conspiracy thinking

We’ll also touch on the dark side: how extreme pattern-seeking links to paranoia, delusions, and conspiracy theories – and why your brain sometimes prefers a “wrong but neat” story over “messy but true” reality.

By the end, you’ll see your own thoughts differently – and you’ll face the final question of the video:

How do we keep the power of pattern-recognition without letting it fool us?
