The “value” I have in mind is more about utility or importance. — DingoJones
how does that answer my questions? — DingoJones
Interesting, although not at all what I was talking about.
Edited: Also, I didnt say life has no value of any kind, so we would be is disagreement rather than agreement — DingoJones
Can anyone defend the assertion of this intrinsic value life is supposed to have? Why is my position, that the value comes from some kind of merit rather than from the life itself, the wrong one? — DingoJones
Yeah, I think a universe devoid of life is worse. I am not sure how to prove that. But since whatever values go into 'merit' will be subjective also, then I will stand on my subjective value judgment that a lifeless universe is worse and a life filled on is better.Can anyone defend the assertion of this intrinsic value life is supposed to have?

Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
