You can destroy others’ value intentionally, but only in extreme circumstances where you’re not thinking right or have self-destructive tendencies can you “intentionally” destroy your own value. But then we hardly describe the choices such people make as “intentional”. Eg the self-destructive person doesn’t “intend” to lose their friends by not paying back borrowed money. And those gambling at the casino, despite not thinking right, can’t be said to “intend” to lose all their money, though they “know” the chances they’ll succeed.
This sounds like by definition value cannot be destroyed intentionally.
