For example, if you were to feel that a person with no pleasure has worth, since pleasure is worth as pleasure is what gives you a sense of worth in the first place, the fact of the matter is that since this person has no pleasure, then this person has no worth. Therefore, since inanimate objects also have no pleasure, that means they have no worth as well regardless of the fact that you feel they have worth.
I don't think you understand what facts are. It's your opinion that pleasure is worth. People who suffer more don't become worth less, nor does their perspective on their own worth necessarily suffer. This idea of yours that pleasure is the end-all in life is just that: your idea. Nothing more, nothing less.
And this statement:
Quote:that means they have no worth as well regardless of the fact that you feel they have worth.That's just flat out dumb. What do you think worth is? Some intrinsic property that some objects possess independent of minds to apprehend them?
