Our biology and survival instincts delude us all the time. So, I wouldn't be surprised if many people are deluded into thinking that their rational value judgments are real emotions. Even if they weren't real emotions, I still wouldn't be surprised if people were deluded into thinking they were real value judgments due to, again, their biology and survival instincts deluding them. Such deluding mechanisms serve a benefit to aid our survival. Many people have these delusional mechanisms such as religious believers while others, such as atheists, are beyond them and can see the truth that gods such as Thor are nonsense. I am beyond such delusional mechanisms which is the reason why I can see the truth that it is our positive emotions that give real good values to our lives.
