"If I did this campaign to try to convince everybody to break the contract then I would be bringing a lot of misery into the world," he says. "I don't want to do that whether it's by freeing the child unilaterally or by convincing people or by convincing yeah" He adds: "They can't themselves benefit from this contract anymore and that's why they walk away is that every day that they enjoy the Druze and the orgies."
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.
