"This is quite incredible at times one of the adolescent girls or boys who go to see the child does not go home to weep or rage does not in fact go home at all sometimes also a man or woman much older falls silent for a day or two and then leaves home" "I think it's very important to communicate that the natural response of everyone is outraged yeah that these aren't people who are incapable of this they're not monsters they're not psychopaths rightYeah right they're us like we're one of us right exactly. This whole thing is just we are them"
David and Tamler are pulled into Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." Omelas is a truly happy city, except for one child who lives in abominable misery. Is that too high a moral cost? Why do some people walk away from the city? Why does no one help the child? Why does Le Guin make us create the city with her? Plus, we talk about our listener meetup in Vancouver, and a new edition of [dramatic music] GUILTY CONFESSIONS. Note: if this episode strikes you as too puritanical, then please add an orgy.
