Informational Fallacy

The fallacious belief that only that which can be quantified, digitally encoded, or formally computed is "real" or constitutes valid knowledge. It dismisses qualitative experiences, subjective consciousness, moral intuitions, and analog phenomena as "illusions" or "epiphenomena" because they cannot be fully captured in a discrete, measurable data stream. It's a form of extreme reductionism that mistakes the map (the informational model) for the territory (lived reality).

Example: "Love is just a biochemical algorithm for gene propagation. If you can't model it in a neural network or measure it in serotonin levels, it's not a real phenomenon, just a story we tell." This statement commits the Informational Fallacy by asserting that the computable aspect is the only reality, reducing a rich human experience to mere data processing.

Informal Meta-Fallacies

Meta-fallacies that arise from the misapplication or abuse of informal fallacy labels (e.g., ad hominem, straw man, slippery slope) within discourse. These are tactical errors in rhetorical analysis. They happen when someone slaps an informal fallacy label on an argument incorrectly, uses the label as a conversation-stopper without justification, or employs fallacy accusations in a one-sided, partisan way to protect their own side from criticism. It’s using the vocabulary of critical thinking to avoid the practice of it.

Informal Meta-Fallacies Example: In a debate, someone accurately summarizes an opponent's position to show its weakness. The opponent shouts, "Straw man!" even though the summary was fair. This incorrect accusation is an Informal Meta-Fallacy; it weaponizes the name of a fallacy to falsely claim misrepresentation and derail the refutation.

informicide

When someone communicates in a way that actively reduces the amount of information in existence.

Usually occurs when a person talks for a long time, uses many words, and yet leaves everyone else knowing less than they did before the speaking began.

Unlike misinformation, nothing said has to be wrong; it just erases understanding.

Commonly observed in meetings, presentations, emails, and “quick explanations”.

“Ten slides, thirty minutes, zero clarity. Absolute informicide.”

Informal Laws of Logic

The unwritten, socially negotiated rules that actually govern how arguments play out in the real world, far from the clean rooms of formal logic. These include principles like the Law of Charity (interpret others' arguments in their strongest form), the Law of Relevance (stay on topic, Karen), and the Law of Proportional Response (your counterargument should match the scale of the claim). They're not mathematically provable, but violate them and you'll find yourself talking alone in a room, wondering why no one will engage with your "perfectly logical" points.

Informal Laws of Logic "He kept demanding I prove a negative, then changed the subject every time I got close to a point. Someone get this man a pamphlet on the Informal Laws of Logic—specifically the section on 'How Not to Debate Like a Gremlin.'"
