| Abstract: | Worlds have a compelling consistency. Within worlds it is often possible to negotiate differences in values and practices; between worlds, it is notoriously difficult, even impossible, to do so. People will go to almost any length to maintain their worlds, even in the face of powerful reasons to change. Why? What holds worlds together so powerfully? This talk will take a deep dive into the complexity of people, communities and worlds in search of ultimates -- and some possible avenues to resolution of intractable value problems. |
