but what about a general definition of value that encapsulates everyone’s experiences and not only yours?

I don’t care who experiences the pleasure or suffering. Individual ego is an illusion. The self is a social construct. The divisions between oneself and others are a lie.

you misunderstand. you told me what you value. I asked for a definition of value. something can be valuable (by being valuable to someone else) even if you yourself do not value it

Why would I agree that Harry Potter is valuable if I don’t and cannot value it, even for its net effect on others?
