In today’s episode, a walk in the woods discussing Ursula Le Guin’s discussion of ego in ‘The Dispossed’.
On Le Guin’s fictional planet, Annares, humans in an egalitarian society are ostracised for ‘egoising’.
Egoising is an inevitable corrollary to the struggle between community and a sense of self. Le Guin does not describe it as a moral failing, just a tension.
