Could be. Interesting tactic. Energy does indeed seem to intrinsically exist. Existence does seem to exist. Scarcity does seem to exist. Even shared feelings of value for things that are hard to make a logical case for them seem to intrinsically exist. Yet, I feel unsatisfied that intrinsic value exists. Maybe I mean something harder to define.
A good question. Does value exist without an entity to experience and quantify it? Is there value in a universe without humans - assuming such a universe could exist?
Agreed that instance admins might not be expected to handle this sort of thing.
Agreed that it is easy to get a copy of the content.
I think we might handle this best as a cumulative platform and community.
I feel your frustration. Hang in there though. Perhaps there is a way to combat it.
Agreed. Always a good thought to have when one is considering going down that road. Is the future predictable enough to really expect that particular end?

After some thought, my new inclination:
Whether intrinsic value exists or not is unknowable to us, specifically because we did not create our own universe. I can’t say for certain there is value in truth, justice, love, etc. beyond what we humans assign to these things. Yet, I can’t say for certain that there is not. Intrinsic value by its very nature and definition is a mystery.
