Dusting off an old idea that may be nearing practicality with the rise of large language models:

A model of human universal values—multilevel, fine-grained, probabilistic, intertwingled, and evolving—could facilitate useful discourse and collective decision-making.

It seems to me that our worldwide, multicultural corpus of fiction must contain examples, within context, of nearly all human values and situations in which they may apply.

Such fictional examples are of course highly biased toward the dramatic and the sensational, since that's what people tend to enjoy reading, but might we now be close to having the tools to help us collect, categorize, and make sense of such a data-store and apply it to effective discussion and decision-making?
