Human Value Nonexistent?
RE: Human Value Nonexistent?

You're expecting science to provide evidence for the existence of intrinsic values, or logic to prove that they exist?


Quote:Happiness is not necessarily bliss.
No, but it is a requirement, so, once again, to paraphrase Stephen Fry: if ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people in the world?

Quote:We hope knowledge will make us better humans, but it may not, well not in the way we hoped for.

Knowledge can make us better humans in a particular sense of "better". If "better" means "less suffering", for example, then knowledge can help us be better humans because knowledge can help us find out ways to reduce suffering. But the point is that any objective value of "better" cannot be proven. We can't prove that one conception of "better" is better than another.
