"all value is subjective"

no, water and tuna have measurable and objective value to your biological system.

[nybble41 → singularity2001]

You are mistaking biological utility for economic value.

And even then, water and tuna have very little utility to a biological system that already has plenty of both. The utility of adding more may even be negative.

[lawn → singularity2001]

It's still subjective.

Someone dying of thirst values water much higher than someone drowning in it.

Someone allergic to tuna will value it much lower than someone who's not.

[whb07 → singularity2001]

Not if you live in a rainforest with ample access to water. It’s got very little value, whereas in a desert it’s got high value.

Why? What's wrong with the last sentence? (Or has it already been removed?)

[js2 → AnimalMuppet]

It previously had an insult as the last sentence. I'm glad it was edited and I'm sorry it's too late for me to delete my request now.

Eh, no worries. You gave good advice, and it sounds like it was heeded. You left me confused, but no big deal - I've been confused a few times before...
