No--think you may have missed the point--I'm willing to listen, and (if supported by evidence) change my outlook...

I would distinguish between values and beliefs here though 😃

exactly what I'm talking about. you might believe freedom is a universal value, while in reality it means very different things for different people, depending on context.
