Three rules of epistemology that should be taught at school: 1. Knowledge does not come from authority, but always from evidence, and evidence is very hard to get. The only tools to get evidence (including what it actually supports) are reason and scientific inquiry.

3. Your moral assessment of the consequences is irrelevant to people with different values; you need to be able to see it through all possible lenses. The only thing that must remain constant and can be argued about is the set of material consequences.

Value = that for which one will act to gain and/or keep. "Values" as professed via your "collective programming" aren't necessarily reflective of actual values, thus identified.

Yes, which is why we generally define values not as all of our preferences, but only as those that make us act in the absence of an expected reward.
