I mean I think you may be missing the point of the story. Whilst I certainly look for satisfaction in inventing / making others life's better this guy is kind of winning at life in other ways. At stated in the article it seems he lives to learn and share knowledge gained through his adventures. He's visited 250 tribes I think it's fair to say the knowledge shared between those / few back to society are likely to be significant - just because 'he hasn't invented x' it doesn't mean contributions in other forms do not exist

How would that compare to an anthropologist studying those tribes and then sharing that information through writing?

  He'd fare better in my books, because at least he didn't shed their mystery and betrayed their ways, just to write a book or to do his university work.
