I may act in accordance with different values without resulting in undirected floppyness.
For instance, I could value both animal life and wearing traditional Bavarian lederhosn, and act on these values by producing, buying and wearing lederhosn while donating money to a save-the-cows fund. But I guess I could just donate an amount relative to how much I value the cows over/under lederhosn. Hm. Okay.
Yeah. When, at any specific moment your values produce different suggestions as to what action to take, you have to balance or alter them somehow.
Yes, otherwise someone might call you a 'donkey'!
hah hah hah. :P
