    Pants have value in any climate.

    Pants can have value, they do not have inherent value.

    You’re looking for particular circumstances that mitigate or otherwise affect the inherent value of certain goods, though your scenarios depend on those goods having inherent value in the first place.

    I am pointing out that there are exceptions to the assumption that there is inherent value to show that material goods do not have inherent value. That is the opposite of ‘depending on them having inherent value’.

      You’re looking for particular circumstances that mitigate or otherwise detrimentally affect the inherent value of certain goods, though your scenarios depend on those goods having inherent value in the first place.

      Clothing has inherent value for people.

      Containers have inherent value.

      Shoes, any number of material goods have inherent value.

      Currencies do not.

        I don’t think you understand what inherent means.

        If something does not always have value in every circumstance, the value is not inherent.

          In the context that we’re using the phrase and have even explicitly stated, “…to people”, these material goods…and food(that’s use your craziest argument so far) have inherent value.

            Do you think I’m talking about inherent value to dogs and cats?

            I’m going to assume you are trolling and kick myself for falling for it.

              No, that’s my point? Currencies do not have an inherent value to people, only societal, while material goods have inherent value to people while you’re pretending they don’t while you struggle against a definition.

              Struggle!
