Emotions are intrinsically good and bad

[Transcended Dimensions]

Never mind then.  I don't think you are getting it.  I think I've made myself perfectly clear, but if you still do not get it, then there is nothing more I can say.  By the way, an emotional value judgment of good value simply means the positive emotions themselves since, according to that skeptic, emotions themselves are value judgments.

Who is that skeptic, and why do I care what he or she wants words to mean any more than I care what you want them to mean?  I'm pretty sure this person is not a scientist, and probably is not a qualified psychologist either.

Edit:  Actually, I think there is a way I can explain this analogy further.  Emotions are forms of motivation since we know this for a fact.  Positive emotions are positive forms of motivation which is analogous with a positive charge since motivation can be analogous with a "shock," negative emotions are negative forms of motivation which is analogous with a negative charge, and our rational value judgments themselves are no form of motivation since they are analogous with no charge.  That is why our rational value judgments cannot be any real emotions.  Continuing on from here, since positive emotions are the same thing as good value judgments and since negative emotions are the same thing as bad value judgments, then this means we cannot have any rational value judgments.  In short, positive emotion=good value judgment=positive charge, negative emotion=bad value judgment=negative charge, and no emotion (our rational value judgments)=no real value judgments=no charge.

You keep saying that.  I keep saying that's a goofy way of looking at emotions, goodness and badness, and "value judgments."

Yes, it might be a goofy idea.  But that's not what's important here because plenty of ideas that sounded goofy or absurd were, in fact, true.  What's instead important here is if I have used sound logic here.  If our emotions themselves are really value judgments, then I just wish to know if what I have said would have to hold true.  If what I said there is flawed reasoning, then it wouldn't be true.  If I can find the evidence for what the skeptic said in regards to the existence of emotional value judgments in addition to rational value judgments, then that would also be evidence for what I said as well if what I said is true.
