This intro is told through Vicki's (clumsy) experience playing a video game: Civilization 6. Through this story, we'll encounter the seminal themes of the series: Why are we obsessed with dominance and is there another way to thrive? Where did we get our ideas about what's good or valuable? What does it mean to embrace more sensible values?

Introduction

This limited-series narrative podcast follows a personal and philosophical journey that peels back layers of the societal rules and norms we all inherit. Having grown up with certain values and ideas of success, and then finding them to not be so fulfilling, Vicki Shaw documents her philosophical journey grappling with modern, yet outdated values as a software engineer in Big Tech. Confrontation with her western worldview deconstructs long-held ideas of success, wealth, and domination, and begins an inquiry into where values come from and how to live more fully. Follow along as she sheds attachments to the status quo, questions old narratives, and reconstructs her values with an eye for morality--to eventually arrive at values closer to indigenous ones.
