I'm content to say that we value what we currently value, because we currently value it, and asking whether that's good or not is asking an empty question.

I am content to say the question is not empty, and if you assumptions lead you to suppose it is, then your assumptions need to be questioned.

You seem to believe that I have arrived at my current position primarily via unquestioned assumptions.
What makes you conclude that?
