All value is produced by human consent and thus objective value is hardly possible. Anyway ha... more »
How Inuit Parents Teach Kids To Control Their Anger

But the way most people use it today—especially in a political context—is pretty much the opposite. They use it as a way of declaring belief in a proposition which is outside their knowledge and wh... more »
