Bellum your argument is flawed.. the entire universe is objective, we all interpret it differently and therefore everything about the our society as a whole is dependent upon a person's perception. Therefore things such as "good" and "bad" are decided by a mass perception ( i.e. Me and 10 of my friends like AC/DC but not Nickleback my 11th friend likes Nickleback... the 11th friend is wrong and should shunned for having such bad taste in music). The strange thing about this though is that sometimes even the masses are wrong ( i.e. Metal Gear Solid 4 isnt worthy of game of the year cuz it didnt bring anything new to the gaming community... but Gears 2 is cuz it has brought so much that we didnt already have in the gaming universe). The bottom line is people may or may not have the same views as you.... if you like MSI great. If you like AC/DC great. If you like Nickleback kill yourself. If you like Gears 2 whatever... I merely pity you.

No, objective value doesn't exist. There is no evidence for it, it's not something we can observe, there is no way to logically infer its existence. It's all in our heads.

Doesn't add up. Especially when you consider that objective value doesn't exist, how then can the masses decide what values exist objectively? ;)

Ah, I understand. You decide what is objectively valuable, kind of like SDL. What a revelation, I'll have to tell the moral absolutists that they have their messiahs.
