Something something ergo propter hoc? Because of this on account of this? I forgot the Latin term. But wow, the circular logic is stupefying. and scary.

You're thinking of "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc," or 'after this, therefore because of this.' The logical fallacy is in asserting that Event B happened because of Event A, most commonly expressed in benign superstition (it rains whenever I plan to barbecue).
