Fantastic post. Not-so-fantastic title, especially since your real point seems to be more like, “only humans in a human environment can have human values”. ISTM that, “Can human values be separated from humans (and still mean anything)?” might be both a more accurate title, and more likely to get a dissenter to read it.
It would have been a more rational allocation of effort to spend more time thinking what the title should be. But I’ve heard it causes link problems to change the title after posting.
