The Trivium was a field of study for students at university in the middle ages. "Trivial" has also been said to refer to something only of interest to a student of the trivium.

Imagine that, you've got some brain disease that makes you think that true things and false things are true at the same time. No amount of brain convincing solve that. And you went crazy over that. There is no escape.
