Maybe not in your head. But as soon as you introduce language and shared meaning they do. You don’t even know if the color I call blue appears to me physically the same as it does to you. We can agree that it corresponds to a specific wavelength but we just have to guess if we’re both experiencing it in the same way.
But I digress. That doesn’t matter anyways because we aren’t talking about the nature of reality in this thread, we are talking about agreed upon normative judgments. Not just what is, but what should be.
And that always relies on analogy. How could it not?

You're posting random unrelated pop-sci at this point.

"Agreed-upon normative judgments" and "what should be" are not the same thing.

Well, the way my arguments which don't rely on analogy exist is that I typed them into the text area and pressed "reply".
You're literally trying to argue that something can't happen, which is happening right in front of you.
