These heuristics seem to support Naturalist Fallacies --- that's the logic one applies because the probable outcome seems "natural" or logical, which is a common rhetorical trap/device, frequently applied in politics.

There is a really good article (based on a book) about a set of psychological barriers that are very common, egocentric tendencies... I'll try to find it, it was good.

Nudge is a great book that examines common heuristics, and proposes systemic fixes that would help people make decisions whose outcomes they would prefer over what they would've decided without aid. A good example is making a new employee's default option to enter a 401k, which overcomes the status quo heuristic (irrational preference for the status quo). They call the doctrine Libertarian Paternalism.
