the capitalistic assessment of value is baked into the very language you use to express these ideas.
value is subjective. i agree. in my ideals we should not give one conception of value (i.e. monetary) more importance than another.
when we attempt to assess one kind of value in terms of another there is a sort of value-information-loss that occurs, because some sorts of value simply aren't able to be effectively expressed in terms of another.
a person's value and potential, for instance, must either be made economically viable or be cast aside for the sake of their own survival. in doing so we lose much of the potential to create non-monetary value that we possess as humans.
in the coming decades, we must all reassess how we perceive value
it all ties back to how we assess value.
some values are not monetary and are not incentivized by capitalism
we waste enormous amounts of value because we cannot quantify or perceive it in terms of capitalistic gains and losses
if it is more economically favorable to waste value, then that value will be wasted under capitalism
unrestrained capitalism is inherently wasteful
