A short spoken excerpt (from Vishen Lakhiani's video) framing sex as more than a physical act: it both reflects deep-rooted cultural values (treatment of women, children, power dynamics, privilege, double standards) and acts as a site for radical, progressive social change. The speaker urges self-knowledge about one’s sexual identity as a way to understand personal identity more broadly.

Sex isn't just something that we do. Sex is a place we go. In every culture, in every era, sex is pretty much the window through which you can look at some of the most archaic, rooted, deep values of a society, of its treatment to women, to children, to power dynamics, to privilege, to double standards, all of it. And in every culture, sex is also the window through which the most radical, progressive changes take place. Tell me about you sexually. Know a lot about who you are as a person.
