Values: Pass #8

[beastmode]

Leo asks you to pit each value against one another and ask, "Would I rather have lots of A and a little of B or lots of B and a little of A."

What should we do if two values appear to be related. For example, I am comparing Contribution with Creativity. I probably will have to be really creative to contribute in the way I want to (my tentative life purpose is to discover and share a new way of interacting with existence).

Are "contribution" and "creativity" values or more like personality traits or processes?

[Leo Gura]

@beastmode If I threw creativity or contribution into the trashcan and you never saw them again, would you care?

Do you care about them both as ends, not just means to ends?

If one is just a means to the other, throw it out. If you care about each one individually for its own reasons, then keep them both. If you find they are just synonyms for the same basic idea, merge them into one.
