No amount of reading what I've already read is going to change my comments. I'm asking you to point to a single value judgement that is clearly one or the other of your proposed categories. Understand? Without that, then the premise is unsound.
There were two categories I pointed out. The 1st category was the thought form of value judgments. These are value judgments that come about through our way of thinking such as thinking that it is a good day today or thinking something is horrible. The 2nd category of value judgments would be the emotional value judgments. These value judgments are the emotions themselves. If you felt a positive emotion, then that is always a good emotional value judgment and if you felt a negative emotion, then that is always a bad emotional value judgment. I have already explained this earlier in that post. So, I am still not clear on what the problem here is.
No amount of reassertion will make any of the above true by fiat. I -know- that you proposed as much....you've done it more than once, I was there....I've commented.
I'm awaiting an example that shows that this proposed division between thought and emotion actually exists. Awaiting an example of a value judgement that is void of one or the other and possessed by someone, awaiting an example of a person who does not possess one or the other.
I'm awaiting some indication that your premise is sound....not asking for a reassertion.
Beyond that - regardless of whether or not there are such disparate categories in actuality, I possess both...like we all do, and yet I am not experiencing what you say I will - nor is the rest of humanity reporting such a phenomena......obviously something is amiss.........
