Excellent write up, I found the same value in the course. We have found ourselves at a critical cultural juncture. From global politics to our local institutions it feels like we are one event from watching them crumble. It feels like half our family and our neighbors and our leaders are speaking a different language at times. And in a sense both are true.
There are some hard problems to solve. What the course points to is that the answer is not forcing everybody to circle around one set of beliefs, but that we must take it upon ourselves to seek the truth that exists and share it as the foundation of our culture.
Our attempt wont be perfect but the process will much less difficult than the alternative and it is only workable political system.
Orienting around truth is the only way to point to our purpose. That purpose is always up. It is always the hardest hill to climb. But it is the only way to bring meaning to our lives.
