One of my growing convictions is that values (either explicit or revealed preference in market/non-market environs) simply don’t matter beyond one big purpose: coalition formation through virtue signaling. Behavior is 99% shaped by imitation of what you see working for others.

OTOH you often don’t recognize mundane problems as problems till you see the solution. I didn’t know I needed Google until I saw Google. We do occasionally see problems before we can solve them, but they tend to be big fantasies (flight, immortality...)
