I think some values are objective at there basest points - example the value of a human life. But within that human life the things we find of value is what enriches us, also the diversity of that value, can have value within itself

Yup. The phenomenon of preference is a function of human cognition.

Just to throw a bit of a spanner in the works of the notion of value being both in some sense naturalistic but in another completely subjective and incommensurable (I think this tends to focus too much on aesthetic tastes and personal favorite luxuries etc):
Can we value absolute essentials, like say, water, differently?
I think there's a completely objective story to be told about value in which every difference in valuing can be explained in terms of developmental history down in principle if not yet in practice to individual clusters of neurons.
But I owe prickly a developed response in something else, so i'll leave that there for now.
