I'm not against value, I'm against the term "provide value" because (to me, and I'm probably a huge minority in HN) it is a term loaded with capitalist meanings

We don't talk about providing value in academia, I assume they don't talk about providing value in philanthropic organizations or political movements. Whenever I hear the term it essentially means "to make money".
I appreciate that this is my personal interpretation of this though
- conanbatt 8y ago> We don't talk about providing value in academia I am not surprised. The requirement to provide value in academia would go very much against getting any funding for it.
