**New Episodes Released Every Wednesday** This week I welcome Arthur Haines to the show. Arthur is a Maine hunting and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher. Coming across his work several years through Daniel Vitalis' "ReWild Yourself" podcast, I first came to speak with Arthur a few years ago in an online book club following the release of his book "A New Path: To Transcend the Great Forgetting through incorporating ancestral practices into contemporary living." In this episode, Arthur addresses what he has termed "Liberty without responsibility." In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, sweeping changes to the way Americans lead their lives have been met by an outcry from both sides of the ideological landscape decrying both an infringement of rights, as well as a civic responsibility to adhere to guidelines that close businesses, limit public gatherings, and impose fines and even criminal charges. Taking a pragmatic, objective, and ecologically conscious understanding to approach this complex issue, Arthur addresses COVID-19 specifically, but the focus centers upon conditions that have played into vulnerable populations becoming so vulnerable. We talk about unaddressed and underlying responsibilities that perhaps would otherwise prevent such drastic measures from being taken to enforce such things as social distancing and forced quarantines. Factors like our heavy reliance on industry, the outsourcing of cheap labor, and cumulative pollution from these accepted practices and purchases form the groundwork for this in-depth conversation.
