Human beings will go to great lengths to serve the common good and to belong. Around the world, 2020 showed us the power of community and common purpose. We witnessed the role of language in rallying people around a cause, yet we ended the year as divided and isolated as ever. Strong communities spring from strong individuals who are valued and who provide value. Angus's talk explores the role of curiosity, understanding, and values in community.
