D & Candy V #12: The Morality of Doing Absolutely Nothing

Is doing nothing still a moral choice? In this episode of D & Candy V, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable gray area between action and inaction—and whether “not choosing” is actually a choice with consequences.

Broadcast from a warehouse basement on the wrong side of the tracks, D and Candy V unpack the trolley problem, Good Samaritan laws, moral responsibility, proximity, intention, and the quiet ways we justify not stepping in. From Seinfeld’s infamous finale to real-world moments of hesitation, guilt, compassion, and self-preservation, this conversation spirals into bigger questions about morality itself.

Is morality binary—or deeply personal?
Does inaction remove responsibility, or secretly create it?
At what point does helping become unreasonable… or even harmful?
And who gets to decide what counts as “doing the right thing” anyway?

Along the way, the conversation touches on:

• Inaction as a form of action

• Moral responsibility vs. moral exhaustion

• Proximity, visibility, and the bystander effect

• Capitalism, charity, and “transferring” moral weight

• Family, safety, and justified self-interest

• Whether morality is objective, subjective, or just deeply private

Listen. Think. Disagree. Sit with the discomfort.
