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.

I think this is related, but the term evidence-based gets used quite a bit in the media these days. I find that phrase has no intrinsic value, if thats right, because I've never studied philosophy. So, if that is an example, I say it because I think the word evidence doesn't have a value, it needs valuation as to whether it is good evidence or some other description.

Edit: I guess, therefore not an illusion.
