All I said here was that any situation I think of as being bad during a moment where I felt nothing but a positive emotion would not be any real bad in my life. Nonetheless, I would still make the choice to avoid that situation I thought of as being bad.

Quote:I would actually define anhedonia as being an absence of those euphoric and dysphoric states while misery would be a dysphoric state. I would not define anhedonia as being an absence of the thought (decision) form of emotions since I don't think they exist anyway. From here, I define misery as being a dysphoric state. Again, that state would not come about through our thoughts alone.If anhedonia is the absence of euphoric and dysphoric states, as you just claimed.....and misery is being in a dysphoric state..then being in misery doesn't satisfy your own idiotic metrics..which is a problem you seem to keep running into.
You're shitposting as hard as you can trying to make your analogy stick to a vanishingly small subset of our population...and failing even at that. At some point, don't you think that this might warrant a modification of your position..rather than a continued insistence that it is still..somehow, despite all indications to the contrary, and it's absurdly inconsistent conclusions and compulsions...true?
