Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

A lot of that was top-down, "for your own good" noblesse oblige, but I'm fairly sympathetic to it.

I think realistically, much of our obligations to society stem from what we owe each other ethically as humans. Society is just the humans you're more likely to be able to affect.
