Where do our values come from? Can we evolve them to live better? And why does "value" mean something totally different from "values"?

David Schrom, the community's founder, tells his story of challenging the narratives we inherit, which culminates in a painful estrangement from his father.

Trigger warning: This episode contains mentions of suicide that some listeners may find upsetting.
