Hyper-Logification Fallacy

The mistaken belief that every human concern can and should be reduced to logical form—that emotions, values, relationships, and experiences are all subject to the same rules as formal logic. This fallacy ignores that much of human life is not logical in the formal sense, and that trying to make it so distorts and diminishes it. Love doesn't follow syllogisms; grief doesn't obey modus ponens; art doesn't submit to validity tests. The hyper-logification fallacy is beloved of engineers, philosophers, and anyone who has ever tried to argue someone into love. It's the logic of "if you loved me, you'd do X," which confuses logical implication with emotional reality.

Hyper-Logification Fallacy Example: "He tried to logic her into staying: 'If you loved me, you'd want me to be happy. If you want me to be happy, you'd stay. Therefore, if you loved me, you'd stay.' She left anyway. Love doesn't follow logic, and logic doesn't capture love. The hyper-logification fallacy had failed, as it always does with matters of the heart."

Hypeflation

Describing the tendency of people to overestimate a piece of media that they are very excited about, starting something of a domino chain that ends up “inflating” the media’s perceived quality.

To “adjust for hypeflation” would be to regard recommendations of a piece of media from people who are caught up in hype as if they are slightly less positive than they actually are.

“Dude, I was really disappointed by Chainsaw Man. It didn’t match my expectations at all.”
“That makes sense. It’s a really good story, but you definitely should’ve adjusted for hypeflation when that dude told you it was the best thing ever written.”
