The Social Contract
from Celebrate Creativity Hosted by George Bartley
Send us Fan Mail GEORGE: Today: the social contract. Who bears the risk, who gets protected, who gets blamed, and who gets forgotten— in plague-time England and in COVID-era America. Quick reminder: my Shakespeare can look back from the present day at his life on earth—films, scholarship, modern claims— but he cannot predict the future. No prophecy. WILL: Memory, yes. Foresight, no. GEORGE: When I say “social contract,” I don’t mean a philosophy seminar. I mean the unwritten deal we make in a crisis: Who is asked to sacrifice? Who is allowed to stay safe? Who is policed? Who is believed? WILL: And who is… expendable. Support the show Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
