[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds

If you have a moral obligation to the society you’re in and the societies aims to perpetuate that society and its goals, then you would be tied morally to said outcomes. Slavers from slave times were morally tied to propagating slavery until a societal shift moved that target. It is this agreed moral tie to societal goals that feeds definitions of reparations, norms and “the ultimate good”

//2 cents

Societies set those obligations, it's just that not all groups/individuals find them acceptable.
