How, and for what, are we responsible?
What does it even mean to be responsible? Is it about blame? Credit? Or something else entirely?
Leigh, Devonya, and Rick hash it out over drinks, tackling everything from personal accountability to collective responsibility, and digging into big questions about freedom, moral agency, and how our social and political systems shape what we’re capable of doing—and not doing.
This week’s conversation covers some heavy ground: systemic racism, climate change, and whether collective responsibility can actually lead to change (or if it’s just another way of avoiding blame) —and, because it wouldn’t be a Hotel Bar Sessions episode without it, there’s a Star Trek tangent in there, too!
