Episode notes

Laguna: If they freed the kid they would immediately see all of the suffering that they've caused then everybody would be capable of suffering and that would truly be guilt inducing for them right. "I'm just very suspicious of the two uses of guilt those are the only two times those words that word is mentioned in the sentence we referred to earlier" Laguna says there's a lot of self-deception here it seems like to me that she's conveying without making it explicit I think.

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.
