Episode notes

In order to appreciate beauty you need to know what ugly is right and exactly. Having only one instance of ugly is the best the best world because in another city you have plenty of instances of people suffering here we just got it down to one. I don't know whether it's important here to go back to her claim that there is no guilt yeah. It's very strange like at first guilt was sort of the idea of guilt as an emotion that individuals feel now in the context of the orgies but now it's something else.

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.
