When Nietzsche said "God is dead," there were consequences. "What we’re seeking is an experience of being alive" - Joseph Campbell. Thus, students turn to their guru--their Marxist professor.https://twitter.com/EveKeneinan/status/1012387693114937344 …

Could then the missing element be “technology”? Means are a method and technology is a method whereby one approaches closer to reality by the use of scientific feedback. There is some aspect of physicality in valuation reflected in the use of technology because it must conform
-
This also opens up discussion of unethical treatment of labor as similar to treating persons as technology or commodity, as beast of burden.
-
And this is a biblical idea. Commodification of other humans is “sin” in Christianity. It is subordination of the other to means rather than ends in themselves. God never does this, the other is supreme in Love.
-
But on the other hand the Bible seems to believe value is a social phenomena. This is found in the abundance mentality of Christ and his disciples. There are no limits on love, food is multiplied miraculously, and all talents and even salvation is a gift.

This over against there being no room in the inn, giving unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and it being expedient that one man should die so that the nation might live.
-
It seems to me that many of the labor value arguments come out of a place of “protecting labor”, and I think this is mistake because it simultaneously seems to commodify labor even more. A human being is far more valuable than the work he is able to produce for markets.
-
"Protecting labor" is not my main subject, rather "unemployment". Money escaping from industrial economy is unemployment, unused purchasing power, unused work mob-ilization. And a need of our time is to make finance help fighting against climate change, to mobilize work for that.
-
This view requires spiritual insight. The simultaneous existence of the vast multitudes of the poor and the unused cash stockpiles in today’s technology companies signals lack of this insight to my eyes.

Work's value doesn't completely depend on markets: you can work for yourself, it's work, it has value, it builds something, but it's not saled. You can also barter. In common experience, many goals of work are no choice goals: needs first and then some mimetic pleasures.
-
Yes, and what we currently see is that the economy is 99%+ not basic needs. And we don't know the consequences of this age of hyper luxury.
