does anyone have any good links to readings on why emotions matter? I don't think I need to learn, but I want a reference to be able to point to in the future.

I am not convinced that people, generally, are yet good at talking about this.

yeah, this is why Spock Morality is dumb. reason cannot decide between courses of action; you can reason all the way to "this course of action will kill me and my entire species" but without an emotional/aesthetic judgment there's nothing to make that option better or worse

A value function doesn't have to be emotional. Or at least, it doesn't need emotion to function or to propagate itself; it might need emotion to come into being in the first place, but that could be generations ago.

not that operationally interesting until we have agents who can execute on value functions non-trivially, and it doesn't change anything about rationality; it still reduces to an arational "because i said so", but labeled "value function" not "emotive judgment"
