      How does “the ones who walk away from omelas” fit in here? Do you read quietism there?

      I’ve got a whole study guide on it! Well, “Ones” (not “Those” that student use more often than not) suggests the individual as meaningful; the allusions in it to Dostoyevsky, James, & Arendt on power; & the contrasts among deontological, consequentialist, & virtue ethics.

      Despite recognizing the evil some would commit to achieve a utopia, she shows the ones who leave rather than fight to impose their own new utopia. We don’t know where they’re going or what it will be, only that they’re not contributing to the banality of evil.

      okay I just read it and OMG must Russ have *hated* that story. The Two of Them seems specifically like an outraged response to it!

      Well I mean I feel like people kind of read this story backwards Like if you want Omelas, a completely imaginary place, to exist without the kid, you can just stop reading before she makes it up She openly says this, it's all out on the table

      She puts the kid in because otherwise Omelas isn't a real place, it's literally unimaginable It would be a pointless and unpublishable story, just someone masturbating over an impossibly idyllic paradise for no reason

      In the meta, literal sense, Omelas cannot exist without the kid That's its REASON for existing, it's where the story comes from No one ever tells stories about utopias except to expose their hidden flaw and falsity

      It could be a statement about the nature of the world or just the limits of human imagination Anytime someone starts telling a story about how "everyone in this society is just nice to each other and there's no oppression" it feels fake, we don't buy it, it's irrelevant to us

      "Those who walk away" are only seen on the road, never at their destination It's her own dig at herself, the notorious difficulty of trying to actually describe a world without governments, without property, without police, without violence

          All these words for what you don't have (even the word "anarchy" is a negative word for a lack of something) and so few words for what you think you'd have instead

          I think that negation is crucial to it not becoming pre(o)scriptive.
