But are you saying that we can only create value with our imaginations and that we cannot distinguish rationally between such value and intrinsic worth.
There are physical and spiritual values depending on one's standard of value and sometimes these clash. For instance humans require food and water and most of us recognise this. For anorexics though food is the enemy because death is their standard of value. Not a sudden death but a long, painful, drawn out death.

Each of us has physical and spiritual needs and to satisfy those needs we have to discover values. The values you discover depend on what's important to you. If what you seek isn't something that furthers your physical or spiritual life then it can't be a value.
