I think it would be better to say something like, "paranoia is an epiphenomenon," when nobody knows what consciousness is.


That isn't quite true

No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphenomenalism


Note that that title ends in "ism," like "Calvinism," or "Evangelicalism."

Maybe it's more like epiphenomalis-m(a), where -is could be a genetive ending. I.e. the idea of epiphenomena.
