This session's topic:
Moral dilemmas such as the trolley problem have us scratch our head, but most of us do come up with an answer eventually. But how and when do we actually learn to make ethical decisions when life doesn't give us clean, unified training? This session is about the origin of our morals, and how modernity has changed our exposure to moral topics.
For this discussion you don't need to bring any knowledge besides what your personal life experience taught you.
