That makes more sense. I haven’t read much philosophy, or engaged with that sort of thinking very deeply, so I often get confused about what I or others (are supposed to) mean by the word ‘value’. I meant that people would be more effective if they altered their actions to be more in line with their values after they were updated for consistency. If someone says “I don’t value X” one day, and “I now value X” the next day, I myself semantically think of that as a ‘change of values’ rather than ‘an update of values toward greater behavioral consistency’. The latter definition seems to be the more common one around these parts, and also more precise, so I’ll just go with that one from now on.
