"There's no hero that goes and breaks the child free now right they go visit one more time and they just walk away presumably these are the people for whom the self-deception just wasn't working it doesn't," she says. "I love the description of just they don't even say anything right and they are not with each other they go aloneYeah alone and they don't and they go somewhere we don't know where and that might not even exist yeah that's crazy that's crazy."
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.
