I wish we could get away from talking about values. I really pushed on the idea of values for a long time until I realized this is kind of coming at it from the wrong direction, because “values” are a reification of patterns of behavior (including the mental behavior of thoughts) that become locked in time. So while I basically agree with everything you have to say here about valuing the whole mind-body system and not just the mind (and, I would say, valuing all of the stuff happening in the universe to create each moment), I also think the right way to approach this problem is more about creating causal histories that we are satisfied with in each moment because they address the things we care about, and as a natural consequence human values, as reified by humans, are satisfied.
