An arrangement that is instrumentally destructive cannot be redeemed by stipulating its intrinsic value, as intrinsic value claims without phenomenological or rational grounding are merely emotivist assertions.

Emotivist assertions(what unsupported value claims become): Claims that are really just expressions of personal feelings or preferences dressed up as facts—like saying 'this is good' when you just mean 'I like this.'
Instrumentally destructive(describing an arrangement or system): Something that causes harm or damage as a means to an end, or through its practical effects and consequences.
Phenomenological(describing the approach to studying self-awareness in this debate): Related to phenomenology, the philosophical study of what it's actually like to experience things and how consciousness works from the inside.
Rational grounding(as another way to justify why we should believe something is real): Support for a belief based on logic, reasoning, or arguments that make sense, regardless of what we can observe.
