Thoughts on value. (Does anything have intrinsic value? Can value be created "out of thin air?)

To say anything 'is', is an objective truth claim. That "logic dictates it 'is' not so cut and dry" is an objective truth claim. There is no way around this, to say anything at all is to posit objective truth about something. Edit: But it is posited by a subject.

The sentence 'perception is reality' is basically a tautology. There is no reality worth speaking of, only perception.

Edit: On a bit more thought, I think I'm leading myself down the garden path here. I'd go back to my first statement 'Objective is that which is subjective but agreed upon between subjects'. Saying something like 'Perception is reality' is stating my subjective view of an objective fact. There are different levels of logic going on here, one can be stated but is built upon the other. A bit like the number 2, it necessitates the number 1. Objectivity/reality is when you concur but without each of our subjectivity has no meaning.
