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.

Consciously or unconsciously? I guess I think that most people are not really aware of why they are doing anything.

Nietzsche was *very* into that: “the revaluation of all values”, and the “genealogy of morals” were constant themes. Freud & his heirs continued the thread. “*Why* do you value what you value?” is Nietzschean. “Why *don’t* you desire what you want?” is psychoanalytic.
