The movie room turns into a Socratic forum. I am again with Yule Kwon, Annie Mohr, Lilly Killinger, and Cole Piraino, focused on the central question: Are we morally responsible for the underprivileged?

Episode in a 🌰:

The group debates what being morally good is like in a world with inequality. From Peter Singer to Elon Musk, they explore whether caring is enough, or if true morality demands real sacrifice. Along the way, they unpack wealth guilt, responsibility, the usefulness of failure, and how empathy might be more learned than innate.

TIMESTAMPS:

[00:00:23] Can people change? On valleys, resilience, and spiritual metaphors

[00:04:50] What does it mean to “lose your soul”? Money, morality, and happiness

[00:08:26] Peter Singer, guilt, and the inertia of privilege

[00:15:32] Should you blame yourself for someone else's suffering?

[00:19:59] Elon Musk, selfishness, and whether genius excuses immorality

[00:26:35] Wrapping up (recall to 3A) - Pain as blessings

🥜 Not-so-Hypothetical Nut of the Day:

We discuss Elon Musk, and also take ourselves as case studies. [Please note that all opinions only reflect that of the speaker's, and are not intended to offend!]

Hope you enjoyed the ep!
