Judge the world based on your feelings, not on any other basis. What others feel or think should not matter to you unless it is your authentic feeling that it should.

And at what point do you teach the lesser beings so far below you to discern between irrational emotions and feelings and hormones and indigestion? But then you haven't learned, so how are you as the determiner of what others should be going to teach anyone anything?

You make zero sense. You have no point to make. Why did you post this retarded non-question?

What if I have irrational feelings?

Feelings cannot be rational. Feelings are a compass leading you to what you want or away from what you don't want.
Rationality is a map that guides your steps towards the destination your feelings have determined you should get to.

Ok, maybe I used the wrong word. What if my feelings are unreasonable? Anger is ok, until it leads to harming another person. Sadness is ok, until it leads to suicide.
Feelings alone cannot (should not) dictate behavior.
Also, feelings can change. I can feel joy at something today, but be bored with it tomorrow.
I think this idea of judging based on feelings falls in the same category as moral relativism. If your feelings or morals aren't grounded with a proper foundation, then you will have undesirable consequences.

Interesting. Could they do an AI generated civil war? Going to get weirder, gut feelings should be listened to as well.

I'd advise you to embrace all the feelings that come from within you, make your judgments of the world for yourself on the basis of your own feelings, all your own feelings. I'm here to tell you that when it comes to morality you are always right, even when you change your mind on the moral status of something you'd still be correct of that opinion.
