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 wouldn't be surprised if you were deluded into thinking that you weren't deluded. See how that works?
Then it really comes down to a situation where we really don't know the truth one way or the other regardless of the things I say or what others say.
