If different people have different views about good and bad, and all are following what is good for them, then what does this mean? It means the words good and bad are defined locally, not globally. This is an exceptionally poor condition from which to derive a moral system. We need to find those states or ideas which are most commonly held as good, and entrench them as cultural institutions.
"Yeah I raped that girl. But only because I thought it would feel really, really good. And it did!" is not a moral argument that I'd consider worthy of anything but a prison term.
Or if you want, you can say that the majority of people take pleasure in limiting the freedoms of those who take pleasure in rape.

Sure, TD may have at least tried to give arguments afterwards. But she still claims that emotions are intrinsically good and bad is her only premise, as far as I am aware (and maybe some other one about emotional value judgements, but that still gets her nowhere) but that (those) premise(s) is (are) insufficient.

Plastic is hard sometimes but bends under certain pressures and circumstances. So lamb is young sheep, and the road twists and turns.
Hair always sticks to your lolly.
Wearing rubber seldom ends well.
Which all leads me to the conclusion that emotions are intrinsically green and blue.
I have now created a book which is 62 pages long. It explains everything in regards to my worldview and it also explains new things in regards to my worldview. It is not a book I am selling. Rather, it is a book you can read anytime. I will give you the links:
