empiricism is a method, not a value. efficiency is an outcome, not a value. my core values are for truth and utility (contextually limited)

Empiricism is a system for truth-generation requiring belief, a value of "truth" doesn't have meaning without a truth-generation system attached: this is the end-result of postmodern work. Efficiency is a property of a system & can be optimized for. What even is utility anyway?
