What is the cause of value is not a stupid question. Admittedly, its hard enough for philosophers to discuss undefined concepts - much less undefinable ones, so you'll get resistance. I've been begging for months to understand whether Quality is an axes or a direction - and so far only Platt and DMB have responded and they contradicted each other. My thinking on the subject shifted recently with the idea that while Quality may be undefinable in words, it is definable in actual experience. As the primary metaphysical reality of the world, it is always being experienced and what we communicate or express of that experience is our ongoing and dynamic definition - the narrative of intellect engaged in a cosmos.
So, it is valid to question the cause of the Value that resides in my own brain. "What is the cause of Value?" is really about the subjective experience of the quality event of the individual. Now, if Platt is right, then the Value=Quality=Good that we are conceptualizing is an actual empirical reality of the world we live in and it is a POSITIVE force. A literal Good. Good is a noun. The actual construction of the world as a totality - a cosmos - is dependent upon But then, any question about the good is a good question. he-he. So... sorry for calling you a low-level subroutine, Ham. You are often a very high level subroutine. But not always. Welcome to the Rollercoaster.
