Culture
How the sixteen values appear in film, TV, books, music, myth, history, and art.
The Sound of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel. Meaning as the thing that doesn't arrive through noise or certainty but in quiet, in darkness, in honesty.
Dust in the Wind
Kansas. The vertigo of smallness - what does anything mean against the infinite? The song that has made a thousand people reconsider everything.
Mad World
Gary Jules's cover. Everything familiar made strange. The search for meaning in a world that stopped making sense.
What's Going On
Marvin Gaye. The search for meaning in collective suffering - asking the questions no one in power wants asked.
Imagine
John Lennon. Meaning as the shared vision - the world that could exist if the structures dividing people were stripped away. A song that asks you to picture meaning as a choice, not a given.
