About this listen
D.A. Wood reexamines the Eden myth through an atheist and existential lens, arguing that Adam and Eve’s “fall” was not a moral failure but the birth of moral awareness—an awakening to shame, choice, and consequence. Through satire, theology, and philosophy, Wood portrays the Garden story not as divine justice but as a tragicomic origin of freedom under authoritarian rule.
