value-less in what sense?

in the sense of being worthless or in the sense of being objective?

Jason ON  Thats what I was asking. 
"Value" has different meanings

Unless we're talking math, such as the value of X, I think value is very subjective to the individual.

I'm.not sure what an objective value would be.

Jason ON  values are subjective to the individual. 

Science is value-less because its based on objective measurements.  

Science is valuable because  of what it produces.

Pure Science is also a value,  because knowledge is worth pursuing for its own sake

I disagree. Sciencenisnt valueless because it uses objectivity in measurements. Science is a process and that process holds value. Science is also a collective in various fields of study which also hold value to society.

Jason ON  I disagree.
You can disagree with the dictionary, but its merely a semantic argument, one that is valueless because it doesn't touch on the actual meaning ( values assigned ) of the words

Sciencenisnt valueless because it uses objectivity in measurements.
Oh NO?

Science is a process and that process holds value.  
Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing with me ? because I already said that.

"Pure Science is also a value,  because knowledge is worth pursuing for its own sake"

"Science is also a collective in various fields of study which also hold value to society"

 I said that already too ...
"Science is valuable because  of what it produces."

Jason ON The word "value" has different meanings.  Thats why I asked which one(s) floccinaucinihilipilification.  applied to.

I agree with some of what you said and disagree with others. I think you keep confusing value with values.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
