I've rarely seen more assumptions and projections made in a few paragraphs. On the one hand, you judge these cultures as "primitive" and "caveman". Then in the next breath you decry pomposity and paternalism. Yeah, we've found over and over again that contact with "primitive" cultures destroys the cultures. Tell that to Native Americans in both South and North America.

Don't arrogantly assume there is anything wonderful about your "modern" life with carcinogens and pollution all around, man made global destruction of the environment, and nuclear destruction of the whole fucking planet just a half hour away. Talk about arrogance...and ignorance.
