I dont believe that. Your in denial is my best guess. By the way, new Netflix movie out called " The Comey Rule ". Very interesting stuff I never knew happen with Comey and Trump.

Just an observation of reality, so I'm not sure what it is that I am supposedly denying.
Capitalism is naked profit motive.
Please explain.
Choosing to "ignore" human suffering WHEN you can do SOMETHING to mitigate that suffering = denying that person's intrinsic value.
LOVE = COMMUNISMSHARING RESOURCES AND OR SELF-SACRIFICE WITHOUT CONCERN FOR REWARD
FAITH IN CREDIBLE THREAT
Define love; define communism.
And communism is a philosophers pipedream.
So this "intrinsic value" necessarily obligates me to "do something" as it concerns another's suffering, whether I'm a willful participant or not?
Sure.But.

No.You are never "obligated".(IFF) you can do something to mitigate human suffering (AND) you decide instead to buy yourself a private plane (THEN) you are denying the INTRINSIC VALUE of other humans
I'm not suggesting that humans are intrinsically valuable.I'm not suggesting that humans are NOT intrinsically valuable.
18 million dollars per missile launchwe could build at least 18 homes for that price
This would suggest that "a human's intrinsic value is only intrinsic value IFF his/her suffering warrants the participation of another in its mitigation." Why is intrinsic value bound by this standard?
It's not the ONLY measure.It's more of a baseline.
Please suggest a counter-proposal (if you have one).
Why is intrinsic value based one's suffering being mitigated by the participation of others?
What do you personally value ?
What do you personally value ?Self-expression.
Do you need an audience for that ?
