Referring back to Mary won't help here and was, as I initially commented, dubious to begin with. I asked you how a person could identify something without being able to perceive it, as you claimed. Not how a person could identify something without being able to see it.
Quote:There are many anhedonic people out there who don't feel any emotions and there are miserable people out there who can only rely on thoughts of good value in their lives without their positive emotions. Like I said, this is no way to live.
Can the anhedonic Happy Feel™ their way out of being anhedonic? Is the thought of good value in someones life -not- a locus of positive emotion?
Again, who lives this way? If it;s limited to people with a disorder making it -impoosible- for them to feel emotion, then of what use is your worldview to them? None. Of what use is it to people who already feel positive emotions without it?
