Value of life

How much is the value of life? Whats it really worth? Is it truly priceless?

Your life is worth nothing to me, but everything to you.

What if it isn't worth anything to me either?

Precious.

then you should an hero

Then it will be painful.

Then you'd be dead. Since you aren't, clearly your life IS worth something to you.

Life is a grocery store, your only here for the cheese. Some cheese is more expensive so you have to work harder to get it. Other cheese is not as good but you still enjoy it. Find your favorite cheese. The only rule is to not be greedy, let others enjoy cheese too.

FUCK other people, cheese should be banned.

Life is what brings value into existence.
From a biosemiotic perspective value is just one form of meaning life uses to mindfully interact with its environment.
A realitively insignificant one at that, only cursed upon organisms with the facilities for abstract thought. Life is priceless because without life value cannot be interpreted. All life is intimately connected and interdependent in ways science has only begun to understand, so all life is priceless in the same way. Life is not a valuable being, it is the invaluable emptiness that value exists in.

The immense amount of time and effort that goes into creating life makes life worth an immense amount.

No, the value of life, like everything, comes from potential. Saying worth comes from investment is the sunk-cost fallacy.

People who do not acknowledge the true value of life will inevitably squander it. Saying life is "sacred" is just being lazy.

Worth is defined by how much value someone is willing to put into something.

Economist go study nature and not its virtual systems, maybe you could figure out what they are and how they come to be.
Potential isn't valuable if nothing is aware of it. And potential certainly isn't where value comes from. See

What if you're lactose intolerant?

>implying anything has intrinsic value

most lactose intolerant people can eat many cheeses that are lower in sugar. Lactose mostly gets eaten up by bacteria in the cheese making process.

Life is as valuable as the means taken to prevent its loss.

literally demonic

It depends on where you live. Basically, the higher the population, the lower the value of people. Pretty much why the USSR could afford to fight the way it did.

I'd be annoyed at you posting this same picture over and over again, if it weren't for the picture itself. That is a really high quality book, at least in terms of binding.

bibles are more precious than humans? what if you were the last human on earth though and you get stuck in quicksand and the only way to get out of the quick sand is to use the last bible to stand on to get out. would you throw the bible out of the quicksand because you value the holy word and the prospect that aliens will pick it up and convert to christianity or save your own life?

then kill yourself right now you faggot

The only valuable life is your own one. In fact, living beings are programmed to believe they are the center of the universe.

Not everybody is a malfunctioning unit like you.

>NO U

you're more proving his point than anything else user desu

"And humanities" was such a fucking mistake

Not that guy, but wat? He's disagreeing by alleging that the egoist poster believes that everything is that way because he is. An assumption, yes, but hardly representative of that belief.
