The Distinction Between Intrinsic and Instrumental Values in Life Philosophy
Valueism is a personal life philosophy that aims to answer the question of what to do with one's life without a guiding belief system./nValues can be categorized into two types: intrinsic values (valued for their own sake) and instrumental values (valued as a means to an end)./nMoney is an example of an instrumental value that is often pursued mindlessly without considering its intrinsic value./nMany people waste time pursuing things they instrumentally value without recognizing that they do not intrinsically value them.
