it's subjective but it's not random. And if it's not random that means there is some underlying influences that ultimately shape the direction that it takes, and those influences I would argue are intrinsically tied to instincts that we formed over however long which in themselves are shaped by pursuing certain types of outcomes. Whether consciously or unconsciously.
I.e. there's probably a reason most people would value freedom rather than slavery, truth rather than deception, etc
Like you say democracy is self justified. What is it about democracy that makes it self justified as opposed to tyranny being self justified instead?
