0023 What is a judgment_2c?

A judgment_2c is a triadic relation composed of three elements: relation, what is and what ought to be.

0024 Here is a picture of the observer’s utterance, spoken without reflection.

0025 In this, a cat stands for ‘something’ evil, even though God created the cat in goodness.  Somehow, the observer plucks a symbol of the cat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then declares that symbol to be relevant, without a second thought.  That symbol describes a person, who breaks the wings of another person.

Surely, such a person is evil.

0026 The observer’s declaration has all the ingredients that go into a judgment.

However, it comes out as blather_2a, a subjective_1a event, pretending to be intersubjective_2b, and therefore carries the weight of judgment_2c.

The party animal anticipates that the graduate student will agree with the statement.

If “he” does not, then “she” will look foolish.

No one wants that.

0027 Is there a privation here?

The observer’s impression_2b claims to be true, as opposed to false, or maybe, deceptive.  It_2b appears to be sensible.  It_2bcoheres with the structure of judgment.  Yet, it_2b really is just a way of saying that people can be like cats.  It_2b is an object_2b that does not express the fullness of its intersubjective potential because it makes sense_1b.  More or less. No judgment is really needed.  Only agreement.  Humans are cats.
