What does value mean and how do we get value? It seems more like she’s saying that she doesn’t value some people, and that we should have the same values as her.
But she doesn’t get to determine value, the whole community collectively assigns value. We’ve all hade times in our life where we were less and more productive to give up on someone during a low point isn’t just laughably evil but also a bad investment.
It costs basically nothing to be nice to someone and that could turn around their depression (there’s tons of anecdotal examples of this).
