I added one...

ALL-OR-NOTHING THINKING ...
  OVERGENERALIZATION ...
  MENTAL FILTER ...
  DISQUALIFYING THE POSITIVE ...
  JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS ...
  MAGNIFICATION OR MINIMIZATION ...
  EMOTIONAL REASONING ...
  SHOULD STATEMENTS ...
  LABELING AND MISLABELING ...
  PERSONALIZATION ...

Stay hungry,

Useless hypotheses:
 consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism

     Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
     but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
     (Everything that can happen = more than anyone can imagine.)
