Human Value Nonexistent?

[Mystic]

Our instinct to believe in praiseworthy actions. We wouldn't have survived if we didn't. But just because we have the concept of praiseworthy actions and praise an action, it doesn't make it praiseworthy.

Elephant in the room: Of course it does, because as you said directly before making this statement, we set the criteria ourselves. If it meets the criteria we have set it is "praiseworthy".

In the sense we believe it's it's praiseworthy, not that is. We can give worth to an action, it doesn't mean it has any worth. It is praised to us, but it doesn't mean it's actual worthy of being praised. But when we give worth to something, we believe it has worth. I'm only saying do we know there is such a thing or are we naturally inclined to believe in a myth of worth, through pure instinct.
