ELI5: What does the 'Narrative Fallacy' actually mean?
gpt
Humans have a natural tendency to connect events and find patterns, it's a much stronger disposition for us than the inclination to believe things are just random. So much so that even if given a lot of truly random pieces of information, events, etc, people will still be able to find connections, or a "narrative", between them or an overarching idea for what it is they have in common.    


Any idea that infers a connection where random coincidence is a possibility for no other reason than because of a bias towards patterns over randomness, is guilty of the narrative fallacy.
