What is a preference? How do you suggest I infer your preferences?

If it is from your actions, then your definition sounds very similar to mine.

If it is from your statements, then your definition is circular.

If it is from your emotions, then how do people express moral beliefs that contradict their emotions?

Is it something else?

How do you suggest I infer your actions?

What is this sentence asking? Is actions supposed to be preferences?
