Yes. This is a basic principle for interoperability between models - eg Linnaeans vs cladists in biological taxonomy - both are valid, but they use different dimensions for classification. Go a level higher to gain perspective on how they each divide the same space & interrelate.

Of course there are other reasons for disagreement too: invalid facts used as a basis, inconsistency and invalid reasoning, and incompatibility of core values. The first two can be corrected. The last one is just a core incompatibility - each is genuinely wanting to do ‘right’.

If we disagree on core values, there must be reasons to insist on them.

If they are really the core values of one’s soul, then no, it is just what one intrinsically values. Everything else is just a means to those ends, one way or another. Think about it, what are the ‘reasons to insist on them’? Where does it bottom out and you can go no further?

You can go all the way, but it means that there will be nothing left to insist on, of course.

No, I disagree. Try it - take an argument you care about and work it backwards by asking yourself ‘why do I want that?’ If the answer is ‘because x, y, z’, keep going with x, y and z. Tell me where you end up. Eventually it gets to ‘I just do’. That’s a core value for you :-)

Hm, my experience differs! When I am not lucid, I lack attention to go deep enough, but when I am I can identify the construction of the aesthetics that informs my preferences, and the generators for such constructions need only information theoretically constrained assumptions.

Let’s go concrete to get to the bottom of this then. My number one intrinsic value is ‘Love’ - I call it my compass. Why do I find it of value? I just do. The query bottoms out and I can go no further. Many other things like respect, compassion etc are a means to that ends.

Ah, that implies you cannot see how you construct love?
