But if your CEV includes limerence, then this limerence override is actually revealing ways in which your rationality-as-is is incompatible with your CEV.
Not sure if this is engaging at the level you meant, but my assumption is that I broadly want to live in a world that has limerence in it, and has being-in-love, but that doesn’t mean any particular instance of limerence or love is that important, or more important than other things I value. (I certainly think it’s possible, and a particular failure mode of people-attracted-to-LW, to have a warped relationship with limerence generally, and who need to go off and make some predictable mistakes along the path of growing)

Same.
My point is more that discovering that an instance of limerence is adversarial to other things you care about highlights a place where you’re not aligned with your own CEV. The solution of “override this instance of limerence in favor of current-model rational decisions about what I should or shouldn’t do or want” is not CEV-convergent.
…and neither is “trust in love [blindly]”. But that’s not a relevant LW error mode AFAICT.
