I ask: When you wish to make such a statement how have you gone about objectively verifying objective value epistemically in order to check whether it is objective and when you are assessing that value and confirming that it has none how can you confirm it has none if it doesn't exist, and I assume you mean that when you epistemically attempt to verifiy it objectively (whatever 'it' could possibly be if said value has no value/doesn't exist?) you find no ontologically objective value... but how can you assess that it has no value if if said ontologically objective value isn't there to assess/it has no objective value and therefore isn't an objective value in the first place (it doesn't exist?)?
Do you mean you have found a way to figure out how it is you in fact know that of a value that what you know of that value in fact know has no objective value to it and is actually subjective?
If so... how?
...Oh maybe you was being facetious
In short: I haz confuz by your post.
I probably increased the confuzness?
I recognize the ultimately solipsistic nature of consciousness, that what I perceive as space is illusory, the wall in front of me is not 'over there', it is contained within my skull, as is the universe, as far as my individual consciousness is concerned, the universe depends on my existence in order to exist itself; all things are contingent upon me, the universe began with me and shall end with me; things do not exist until I see them, events do not happen until I am made aware of them, galaxies only ever get to exist when I look at their photographs. The universe is created within my mind, I am in essence God, and value is mine to dictate, as it is for each individual consciousness. By what standard do I measure value? My own standard, because it's the only standard I have in my universe.
If I feel something is without value, then as far as my consciousness is concerned, it has no value. That said, 'objectivity' is a four letter word to me, I'm not fond of absolutes, "objective value" is a boring and pointless idea to me, objective value is of no value to me.
That said, I was being facetious to begin with, though thinking about it I may entertain that in a sense objective value is objectively without value, as evidenced by the sheer amount of contradictory and conflicting "objective truths".
