Value is something that exists in a decision-making mind. Real value (as opposed to fictional value) can only derive from the causal influences of the thing being valued on the valuing agent. This is just a fact, I can’t think of a way to make it clearer.
Maybe ponder this:
How could my quality of life be affected by something with no causal influence on me?
