Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The word "value" is both a verb and a noun, each with multiple meanings. But its root meaning always involves social judgments of qualities such as goodness, worth, truth, justice, beauty. The word names either the rational criterion applied when judging, or results of judging, the presence of such qualities.Humans attribute qualities to objects, beliefs, and behaviors as they identify means that "work" to carry on social life, and ends that are "right" for social life itself.  Qualities that "work" are judged by the instrumental criterion, and are said to possess instrumental value.  Qualities that are "right" in themselves are judged by the intrinsic criterion, and are said to possess intrinsic value.  The value of a smart phone or a scientific theory is instrumental.  The value of the Ten Commandments or the US Constitution is intrinsic.
