Episode notes

I started feeling dirty when we started making the an allegory to explicit like mapping things on to the world but I think it's an interesting question what walking away would be in whatever allegory you're describing. We should wrap this up but join us next time on very bad wizards I'm gonna go do a line of truth who are you very bad man I'm a very good man good man just a very bad wizard.

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.
