Why would anyone need to cope with the value of individuals in pre-civilization society? These things are not relevant anymore, an individual's value to society is mostly determined through productivity and wealth now.

Right? It's bullshit. The comment is half right, but the part about "cope" and rationalization is psuedo-scientific projection.

Internet comments aren't interested in logic if they can dunk on a group they don't like lol

Never met an incel huh? If you aren't wealthy or productive then you need to make up a reason for why you have value to society, assuming you buy into the idea of assigning value to life in the first place - which lots of people do.
