Is it possible to “do no harm,” and should we even try? In today’s episode, Forrest and I explore what it means to do no harm, and the resources that can allow us to do as little as possible.

Key Topics:

  • 1:10: Reckoning and repenting in this moment. 
  • 4:45: What does it mean to truly do no harm?
  • 6:45: How does doing no harm help us “be well?”
  • 11:30: Reasons to take a collective perspective. 
  • 16:15: Grappling with the reality of causing harm. 
  • 19:00: The importance of repair.

  • 29:30: Are there necessary harms?
  • 33:00: Resources that allow us to do less harm. 
  • 40:30: What happens when we stop being a danger to others?
