Strange. I interpret having values to mean that you care about things, that you make judgments about what's desirable or not in general (not just as a personal experience). Seems obvious that people do that.
I care about many things, but most of them no one would call “values.” (Anomalocaridids, for instance.) One would need an account of what makes a caring a value?

I'd say a caring is a value of you still care about if it doesn't affect you directly. Like the difference between "I don't like broccoli" and "I don't like abortion".

Anomalocaridids do not affect me directly.

OK. Please check my understanding, that the distinction is that you’d need a rationalization for why you care about Anomalocaridids for there to be a ‘value’ as opposed to just ‘a thing you care about’.

Oh, I have no idea why I care about anomalocaridids! I was asking
@everytstudies to explain what he thought counts as a value, if it’s a narrower category than “thing one cares about.” - 4 more replies
