Great episode. There is something crucial missing when we talk about wilderness in North America, that is how do we talk about a wilderness that has been cleansed of its indigenous Americans? Even in Thoreau’s time Native Americans east of the Mississippi had been pretty much killed off or herded onto reservations.
Good discussion—thanks. One point I’d like to add is that when we find someone’s beliefs offensive or “terrible”, it’s often because we haven’t taken the time to fully understand what they actually believe. As was mentioned, there are genuinely malicious individuals in the world, but it’s simply not possible that everyone who on the surface disagrees on a certain issue falls into that category.
