Episode notes

There's no one place I can go to see the congealed suffering of millions right yeah in Omalas there is. You don't have to and I think it's important that a lot of people don't so I think of this like factory farm videos or something where you could look at one of those and and your heart will be wrenched from your chest but you just rather not know, he says.

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.
