The Elephant #2: On Moral Obligation

The Elephant is a recurring salon for the questions we usually skirt around. A space to think out loud together, disagree well, and resist the pull toward premature consensus.
This second session puts one question in the middle of the room:
What is moral obligation? And is it up to us to do the most impactful thing we are capable of doing to eradicate suffering?
A question that cuts close for many of us working in impact, research, facilitation, or anywhere the word "responsibility" does heavy lifting. And for many more who are simply trying to live well in a world that contains more suffering than we can bear to witness without doing something.
I'm co-hosting with Eddy Vaisberg. We come at this from different places. The intention is to open the question, not settle it.
What to expect
This is a small, slow room, designed for real conversation rather than debate. We use a facilitation approach called Differentiated Commitment, which makes space for disagreement without collapsing it into two opposing sides. You will think out loud, move through a few positions, and leave with a question rather than an answer.
Come as a person, not as your role. The salon is most alive when we set down the institutional voice and speak from somewhere closer in.
