A quick thought experiment to disprove the theory of objective value, by reductio ad absurdum. Let’s say we all agree that drinking water is worth €10 per cubic meter. Universally accepted, even objective — it’s a definition of value, just like the meter or the kilogram. And let’s also say that breathable oxygen is worth €10 per cubic meter. Now I put you in a room containing 100 cubic meters of drinking water and 100 cubic meters of breathable air. Outsiders see that the room’s value is €20,000, and you inside agree. Now I replace all the air with water and leave you in the room immersed in drinking water. Objective total value of the room: €20,000. Do you agree that the room hasn’t changed its value, not even for you? You have just a few minutes to think about it before you lose consciousness and kick the bucket 🙂 @knutsvanholm am I going well? 😁
