This seems to sketch a mind design where the locus of terminal values is in emotions, and so non-emotional justifications are naturally instrumental. But terminal justifications/values can also be non-emotional, even if there’s some overlap and path-dependence, emotional causal reasons for how the non-emotional terminal values came to be.
I’m mostly just trying to point to the fact that that your first impressions on ethics of something are not always the onces you’d reflectively choose to keep. I’m also trying to explain how I do moral reflection. Something almost like the discussion above occurred to me recently, and the other person seemed to hold their view strongly.
