Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[The Grand Nudger]

But even though the sex offender getting the positive emotion would be the good in his life, we would still make choices to stop him anyway.  I know I would.  Even if I was the sex offender and got a positive emotion, I would still choose to stop harming that individual even though it would not be any real bad in my life.   I would think that it would be a bad thing that I am doing this, but that would not be so and I would be choosing to stop anyway knowing the harm and consequences. 

You'd obstruct the real good of a satisfied sex offender just to satisfy your bad thoughts?  Seems to me that you're an agent of immorality even by your own standards...and your standards of immorality are.....novel.

Lastly, I think that people who struggle with complete anhedonia and misery are emotion-blind.  This has been my own personal experience.  When I was in a state of complete misery and had chosen to get help, there was no positive emotion there.  I think what you are saying here is that there is the type of emotions that come through our decisions (thoughts) and then there are those euphoric and dysphoric states I've mentioned which would be their own emotions. 

You think that, but that's not what anhedonia means...and misery is, by any description..an emotion.  If you can be miserable..you clearly aren't emotion-blind.  

Based upon my own personal experience, there is simply no way that a thought form of emotion can even begin to match the beauty, joy, and suffering of those other emotional states.  This thought form of emotion is nothing more than just words going through my mind.  That's why I conclude that there can't be any real emotion through our thoughts alone.

There's that pile of detritus.

Based upon your own personal experience, a misapprehension of anhedonia and the word misery....combined with an inaccurate description of a thought experiment and it's incompetent application as analogy, you've decided that there's no real bad to sex offense..but that you'd obstruct the real good of sex offense satisfaction anyway?

You tell us about "the real good"...which is, hilariously, sex offense.....but also that you side with the bad..more hilariously...thinking that sex offense is wrong because of harmful consequences......
