That, my homie, is a matter of perspective. Things can have value/worth without that as well. It ascribes value a weight based on usage rather than money. Which is fine! Value is relatively relative ;)

Things can have value/worth without a connection to a human's perception of that thing. It gets pretty nebulous and woo-woo, but the principle is valid.

I guess what I'm also saying is that utilitarian thinking isn't the only way to approach the discussion. But I'm also saying that utilitarian thinking is a valid part of the discussion. But when it comes down to utilitarian versus non utilitarian, it isn't a discussion, it's an argument about being right. Which is what the thread turned into towards the end.
