Literal Joke Fallacy

When someone decides a joke is “not funny” just because they took it literally or didn’t realize it was a joke, even though it was meant humorously and others understood it that way

Person 1: “I’d rather eat dogs than this shit.”

Person 2: “HAHA!”

Person 3: “LOL!”

Person 4: “No you would not.”

Person 1: It was a joke chill.”

Person 4: “Jokes are supposed to be funny.”

Person 1: “That’s a Literal Joke Fallacy.”

Scientific Literalism

The mistaken belief that scientific models, theories, and concepts are literal descriptions of reality rather than useful approximations. The Literalist thinks an electron is "really" a particle, a gene is "really" a discrete unit, a map is "really" the territory. Scientific Literalism forgets that science builds models, not mirrors—useful fictions that help us predict and intervene, not photographs of the noumenal world. It's the error of confusing the menu for the meal, the map for the landscape, the model for reality.

"You're arguing about whether light is 'really' a particle or a wave. Scientific Literalism: it's neither—those are models we use because they work. The map is not the territory. Your literalism is preventing you from understanding what science actually does."
