Most of us mean well. So why don’t we act when it matters?

In this episode, Saadia Khan sits down with philosophers Alex Madva (Cal Poly Pomona) and Michael Brownstein (John Jay College, CUNY), co-authors of Somebody Should Do Something from MIT Press. The episode unpacks the gap between good intentions and meaningful action, exploring why moral inertia is so common, how cynicism can masquerade as realism, and what it really takes to move from awareness to impact.

If you’ve ever wondered why doing good feels so hard, this conversation offers a mix of clarity, challenge, and hope.
