Experiential value is unquantifiable and independent of how production is organized
Evidence
Experiential Value flows out of any experience humans value; from drinking a glass of cold water when thirsty, to enjoying a beautiful sunset, to solving an equation or humming a song, to shopping, to feeling appreciated. Experiential value is, thus, an intangible, unquantifiable, subjective, quicksilver value. 2 It always existed, and always will as long as humans are sentient, independently of how we organise production. — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism, 785
