Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[bennyboy]

I think we've established that already...lol.  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.

The problem is that you are conflating a term normally used for objective truth to subjective judgments.  Yeah, we use the word "bad" in a lot of ways: a "bad" feeling is just one that I would rather not have, and I clearly have feelings like this.  "Bad" also means: counterproductive, dangerous, immoral, etc.

Presumably you didn't make the OP and argue for a dozen or so pages just to let us know that "bad" sometimes means "subjectively unpleasant."  If so, this thread is intrinsically wasteful of my time.
