About Me

Minneapolis, MN, United States
I seek for peace, goodness, god-ness, something like this. Sometimes I’m closer, sometimes I’m further away. Sometimes within me, always outside me. Yet, still I am seeking.

Value as it oversees Causation

The Value of things in this world is unique to each thing. Not one thing or one thought or one person or one place is in and of itself either valuable or invaluable. Perhaps at a given point in time, it could become close to one or the other spectrum, but any point in time that thing that once had no value could discover value and all would be changed. Therefore value is not an intrinsic quality of a thing.

Furthermore, value is the ultimate quality in evaluating the world.

Herein lies one of the issues of causation. If Value is the ultimate quality in evaluating the world, and nothing can be more important that discovering this Value, then causation as a mode of thought can never oversee Value. Through the observation of causation, Value is not illuminated. Value is illuminated separate from the causal phenomenon. The existence of Value is understood through deeper processes than that which causation can touch.

In fact, Value does wonders to make causation relevant. With every use of cause and effect analysis of our lives, we apply the results back to the issue of Value and Quality to see what to do next. Based upon these ideas, we can make something of the information ascertained by the analysis. Without Value and Quality, nothing is relevant. And in a sense, without relevance, we hardly exist at all. We would be just pieces of matter moving around randomly and without a point. There would be no reason to do anything, say anything, think anything, or understand anything. Value comes before you can have causation, therefore Value causes causation, therefore Value oversees and dominates over causation.
