Argh! What do you call peoples' tendency to look for connections everywhere?
There's a word for it and for the life of me and my dear Auntie-who-brought-it-up's* sanity, I can't remember it. I'm not about to plow through weeks' worth of FARK headlines to find it, so I'm hoping, as with so many thing in life, Crankyland has the answer.

* She was all about the "ZOMG, the number 13 and OJ WTF?" thing that I (luckily) hadn't heard of until now. Kinda reminds me of the one from years ago where, if you take a twenty dollar bill, and fold it this way, and then fold it that way, and turn it around and ect., you will see... that you have way too much free time.

"Pattern Recognition"? "Paranoia"? "Hysteria"?
"Being a barely-evolved hairless monkey and not knowing any better"?
~I'm going to Hell and I just don't care.~
Um...
isn't that just what us humans do? Find patterns in things and tell stories? That's why we're here in the first place, isn't it?
I should hope that since we're all human...
....and have some similarities that at some point we will come across those similarities, more-so if we're seeking them out on purpose.

connections
I don't know what the word is but if it doesn't exist I suggest 'synthkinesis' be the word you are searching for.

Everything relates back to the Time Cube
Singularity is Evil!
''Connections?'
Your Aunty is right (I think.)
Everything's connected, we just don't know how - yet. How dense? How porous? How maladorous?
Me? Still duck-diving in the spaces between.....
