I keep seeing references to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon all over the place lately...

  I'm losing track of all the references to scientist named phenomena: Baader-Meinhof, Dunning-Kruger, Gell-Mann Amnesia, etc.

    There's gotta be a scientist-named phenomena for that.

    It seems the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon wasn't named by or after scientists, if that's what you meant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion

  This could be coincidence, synchronicity or déjà vu, unless it's merely hilarious. Because if seeing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon everywhere is in fact the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, then it becomes recursive. I'm guessing it is hilarious.
