I really like the idea that preferences are observed after the fact, because I feel like there is some truth to it for human beings. We act, and then become self-aware of our reactions and thoughts, which leads us to formulate some values. Even when we act contrary to those values, at least inside, we feel shitty.
But that doesn’t address the question of where do these judgements and initial reactions come from. And also how this self-awareness influences the following actions.
Still, this makes me want to read the rest of your research!
I specifically propose they come from valence, recognizing we know that valence is a phenomena generated by the human brain but not exactly how it happens (yet).
