How do you know if you have the right values? How do you know if they make sense? We believe, that we all have the best values. But we can’t all be right somehow. The modern society believes in rationality, science, progress and the dignity of humanity. Modern life solved several problems, but produced some itself: Sustainability, Rapid Inequality and Mental Health Issues. So how do our values change so we can solve these problems?
