"Moral Imagination"
I think probably one of the most important parts of the speech that they'll be focusing on 2-300 years from now.

2. Here:
<...>

But what we can't do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on one another. As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy, and remind ourselves of all the ways our hopes and dreams are bound together.

3. I loved that phrase......
I'd never thought of those two words together in that way.
Really good.
