galaxy brain
Absurd logic veneer
Galaxy brain is internet slang for thinking so elaborate or convoluted it loops back to absurdity—someone so convinced of their own brilliance that they've outsmarted themselves.
The term is often ironic, mocking pseudo-intellectual reasoning or conspiracy theories that mistake complexity for insight: His galaxy brain take on the election involves three shadow governments and a time traveler.
