"preferences" as expressed by whether you buy chocolate or vanilla clearly have a huge direct impact, but the word "values" tends to connote grand far-mode attitudes that as you say mostly matter via coalition formation.

values don't inform an individual's decision making process outside of social contexts?

To a first approximation, yeah. You buy shoes 99% because you see they work for others in protecting feet. The remaining 1% is decisions like non-leather for animal rights or minimalist for barefoot running ideology.

I mean but people constantly adopt values that are incredibly bad at forming coalitions. Countless radicals get persuaded by some set of arguments and end up basically dropping off the social graph because they don't have any in with anyone else as a consequence.
