Core values

• Awe and curiosity: We seek the naturalistic sublime and stay open to new evidence.
• Intellectual honesty: We welcome uncertainty, revise beliefs, and resist dogma.
• Human flourishing: Compassion, dignity, and well-being matter because we share a fragile world.
• Scientific literacy: We treat science as a method, not a fortress — critical, evolving, and communal.
• Freedom and responsibility: We explore free will and agency without slipping into nihilism or superstition.
• Planetary care: The natural world is our home, not a backdrop.

Practice over ideology

We favor grounded practices: thoughtful conversation, shared learning, and actions that improve well-being for people and the planet.
