Right and left are also at the opposite end of the spectrum… however it is very useful when driving a car or walking down the street…

Not everything is painful or pleasureful. Some things are rather neutral.

That would be "straight ahead" in our analogy...

If you have to go through a ten step process to figure out if something is going to cause pain or pleasure, then what's the point in using it as a barometer for anything?

Do you have to go through a ten step process when driving your car to know if you should turn right or turn left… or simply forge straight ahead…???
Same thing with decision making… it’s on automatic… sometimes the intellect does come into play… but the eventual decision will be made on the perception of pain or pleasure…

If nothing else it's inefficient use of terminology.

So are the terms, right and left… pretty simple words… yet we could not live without them…
