The frequency illusion occurs when "a concept or thing you just found out about suddenly seems to pop up everywhere." Wnkipedia quoting Pacific Standard.

More from the PS article:

Stanford linguistics professor Arnold Zwicky coined the term in 2006 to describe the syndrome in which a concept or thing you just found out about suddenly seems to crop up everywhere. [Did you notice?] It’s caused, he wrote, by two psychological processes. The first, selective attention, kicks in when you’re struck by a new word, thing, or idea; after that, you unconsciously keep an eye out for it, and as a result find it surprisingly often. The second process, confirmation bias, reassures you that each sighting is further proof of your impression that the thing has gained overnight omnipresence.

Now you know what to tell all the Klimate Krisis Kult members and the Kovidians:"You're suffering from frequency illusion." The illusion that hearing the same lies multiple times per day makes any of them true.

Maybe we should give it a new name - frequency delusion.

To make this genuinely creepy:

Oliver Sacks noted that he started noticing numerous people with Tourette syndrome only after he first came across the term.

And therein lies much of the DSM and psychiatry as a scifid con.

Frequency Delusion = Propaganda Works
