I’m new in this community. Anyone interested in engaging with these sorts of questions? If so, share your thoughts.
My initial inclination is that intrinsic value is an illusion.

Then your question becomes “Does intrinsic energy exist?” or “Does intrinsic existence exist?”

Could be. Interesting tactic. Energy does indeed seem to intrinsically exist. Existence does seem to exist. Scarcity does seem to exist. Even shared feelings of value for things that are hard to make a logical case for them seem to intrinsically exist. Yet, I feel unsatisfied that intrinsic value exists. Maybe I mean something harder to define.
