Of course I think my values are the best. If I didn't. I'd hold different ones. I don't think they're best due to my 'cultural identity'https://twitter.com/almdean/status/886987764952117249 …

It's possible to assume your values probably aren't the best - that you're fallible and likely not in possession of the correct answers.

Yes. They're provisionally the best based on what I have access to and where I am right now.

But no-one would say 'I hold these values but admit that those other ones are better' because then in what sense do they hold the former?

Clever. In the sense that the values you think are best *are* your values, you think your values are the best.

I don't see how it can be any other way. I don't understand what people mean when they say things which suggest they do.

In the sense - I use an Apple laptop, but I can appreciate that maybe similarly priced PC laptops could actually be superior.

Similarly, I might live according to one set of values, but appreciate that someone else's approach may actually be better than mine.

But this again is admitting that you don't live up to a standard you actually think is better.

Don't most people accept that they don't live up to the standard they think is the best?

Yes, absolutely. I argue for being charitable & patient & courteous & then sometimes yell at ppl. This isn't coz I think latter is better.

My values have remained the same. I've just failed to live up to them & I'm aware of my failure coz they are my values.
