When value judgments become actual experiences
When I, for example, experience depression (hopelessness) and misery due to a traumatic life event, then it being the most horrible quality of experience for me is a literal statement here. The word "horrible" does not seem like a value judgment (label) at all being applied to this experience. It does not seem like nothing more than a word being applied to the experience. Rather, it is the experience itself. To say that this is nonsense would be very dismissive because we don't know everything about how the brain works. The brain could work in such a way that qualities of experience that were once deemed as mere value judgments are actual experiences.

That is valuing, we do it all the time.

Re: When value judgments become actual experiences
Taking your comments one step further, if qualities of experience are actual experiences, where do qualities of qualities of experiences stand?
