In these matters, introspection is fairly suspect. And simply unavailable when talking about humans other than oneself (which I think Stuart is doing, maybe I misread).
We’re talking about “mak[ing] judgements about rationality and values”. That’s entirely SOP for humans and introspection allows you to observe it in real time. This is not some kind of an unconscious/hidden/masked activity.
Moreover other humans certainly behave as if they make judgements about rationality (usually expressed as “this makes {no} sense”) and values of others. They even openly verbalise these judgements.
How do you know this is true? Perhaps we make judgements about predicted behaviors and retrofit stories about rationality and values onto that.
By introspection?
