Definition: Aceology refers to a phenomenon where people, particularly young people, believe that there are "real" (i.e. non-fiction) scientific facts about a particular subject, or about their own lives, which cannot be proven by observable evidence. It is often associated with a culture of curiosity and over-reliance on information provided in popular media, such as television shows and movies, as well as the internet. This can lead to an unhealthy obsession with novelty and the pursuit of new knowledge that sometimes leads to misinformation or self-deception. The term "aceology" has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among young people, who seek to find evidence for their beliefs and to challenge those who disagree. It is a form of mental health disorder that can have serious consequences on mental health and well-being.
