    S62E8 Ego is inevitable
    Mar 11 2026
    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.
