“The Lie Of Inherent Worth “critically examines the concepts of inalienable worth, and the dynamics of social power within a naturalist framework. The author argues that the doctrine of inherent value is a social construct justified and maintained through authority, force, or legal frameworks. The essay contends that both patriarchy and feminism are societal choices that some choose to prioritize. The discussion further suggests that social and political struggles, particularly between the left and right, are ultimately battles over control and resource distribution, with the notion of inherent worth serving to legitimize redistribution in favour of those perceived as less productive. The essay concludes by questioning the moral grounding of the doctrine of inherent value, seeing it as nothing more than a mechanism for reallocating resources from the producer to parasites.
