Values I think. I agree with Bill Joy and even Jeremy Rifkin that the future is important,
I agree that it's important to be happy there; but what would make me happy apparently
has the opposite effect on those two gentleman. There is no disputing matters of taste.

One the other hand we disagree on what "I" means, and I'm not entirely sure if you'd call
that a value or a fact.
