I’ve been in love with whales since my childhood, and in this episode I get to share some of their magic–particularly as it relates to our cultural myth of progress. In this episode, I talk about my definition of what progress really is, whales’ surprising evolutionary history, and why progress so often requires the letting go of adaptations that are no longer helpful.
