Is it possible that you're not properly reading my responses in relation to your queries?
I didn't agree that I'd missed anything.
I said that you were conflating purpose and value, and that in fact these are different things. You haven't addressed that yet.
I did address that.
I pointed out that Dawkins is the one that originally cites "survival value" as "archeo purpose", in his youtube video "the purpose of purpose" on minute 29:25.
Also, you asked about what would be "good" to do purpose wise in post 29. In post 30, I gave a detailed response about what a species may "optimally" do, given constraints in nature, including environmental pressures, and biological limitations. Those "optimal" actions can be a measure of the "value" you seem to seek.
