i think the plan made for the planet is flopping again

May I introduce the concept of 'preference' here along with 'judgment'.

Judgment, evaluation, choice, or preference, or however we try sugar coat these terms or make them more politically correct, is the only process here that serves to ultimately make us more and more consciously aware of the nature of the logos.

I agree wholeheartedly that discernment is needed to grow. Then there are different ways the discernment may be applied. Let me put it this way-

Preference = Discernment + Choice
Judgment = Preference + hate/anger/ other nagative emotions

I hope that clarifies my take.

I totally understand where you are coming from, but we are fortunate to have with us a 3rd-party, higher observer or 'witness' of our necessarily-polarized decision making. We can always decide, evaluate, choose, make judgments in an ad hoc manner, based on the information (such as experience, intuition) available to us in whatever circumstances.

Really, judgment is not preference + negative emotions - it's merely an opinion (or "the process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning and comparing") . What you're talking about with the negative emotion is identification-attachment by the ego where a projection did not fit. BTW, certain positive emotional responses can be just as distracting with regards to polarization, and therefore can also be considered 'negative'. This is due, for example, to inflation directing attention towards what one likes or hopes for at the expense of the a larger picture of 'love' and balance.

Failed projections result in an emotional response - typically anger that you mention - which in turn inevitably hide information (awareness, open-mindedness) necessary for further evaluation.
