This chapter explores the complexities and dangers of proposing new value systems and religions while emphasizing the rich diversity within indigenous cultures. The speakers discuss the balance between individualism and collectivism, highlighting shared human experiences and the need for ethical community building in an increasingly interconnected world.

How can businesses make better decisions?

The corporate world needs new values, values that inspire different motivations for existing. But doing so within the existing framework of driving shareholder value is so complicated that many are claiming it can't be done. Socio-technological ethicist Nate Kinch is trying anyway.

Nate works at the intersection of values and technology, working on redesigning corporate values by focusing on building trust and morality within organisations. We discuss this at length, and whether or not business is capable of designing its own decay or degrowth due to a wider ecological imperative. We also discuss the drivers of this corporate crisis, including the story of separation.
