  Edwin de Wit addressed criticism #1686.

Statements can also produce feelings.

I don’t think statements produce feelings. I think values produce feelings, regardless of whether those values are held consciously or unconsciously, explicitly or inexplicitly:

Emotions are produced by man's [value] premises, held consciously or subconsciously, explicitly or implicitly.

By the way, I wonder if this is where Deutsch got the different categories. He’s read Rand.

I agree with what you said, but don't understand why it's a criticism or refutation of "Statements can also produce feelings". Values are largely explicit knowledge (what I call Statements), and they can produce feelings, as you say.
