the whole point about things that you think are intrinsically valuable is that they require no justification. If I like having lots of knowledge or being the first to discover piece of knowledge X, I can say “intrinsically valuable” as a stop sign; you’re not allowed to question that any more. Nice link to the enders game piece, btw.

Yes; so the way I phrased it was wrong. I will edit now.
