[Ham said] But I was puzzled by what seemed to me an ingenuous comment: "If you base your world-view on SOM, then value is just 'whatever you like'." I assume you are the same Mary who ends evey post with the axiom "The most important thing you will ever make is a realization." Isn't "what you like" your realization of value? Indeed, how can we know value other than as a realization? Value-sensibility, as I have defined it, IS primary realization. While this may be the SOM view, it also happens to be the perspective of human beings living in and interacting with a physical world.
Hello Ham, Yes, it is me, and I fail to see a conflict with the two ideas. The problem I have with SOM is that it presupposes a subject and an object. My point was simply that science (SOM taking its highest form) has no conceptual nook in which to put value. For a scientist, value is indeed "whatever you like". It can't be objectively measured in scientific terms, so it is discounted. Mary - The most important thing you will ever make is a realization.
