Yes. Let’s shut logging down, never mind that they are staring at a flying drone, safe to say they are contacted.
To me it’s near curule to go out of our way to not interact with people simply so we can watch them. If I were born into that tribe and then died and went to some after life and found out that the rest of the world denied me the experience of technology I would be hella pisses.
- floam 2y agoI don’t think it’s a drone. Did you watch the video they took? The audio of the tribespeople speaking wouldn’t be possible with a drone. It’s probably on a tree? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13S0Ks8TU6MHI5ACeyOKMkqsGn0SGVy0s https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13S0Ks8TU6MHI5ACeyOKM... Also, look, you are not uncontacted in Peru in 2024 unless you prefer it that way. People know who their neighbors are, and if they want to reach out they can. In fact, we have heard what these people think of the logging, through a neighbor of theirs: > The Yine, who are not uncontacted, speak a language related to Mashco Piro, and have previously reported that the Mashco Piro angrily denounced the presence of loggers on their land. I think that should be respected.
- qeternity 2y agoI don’t think you can equate being upset that people are destroying your land with an affirmation that these people do not want modern technology. If your only understanding of modernity was intruder destroying your habitat, you’d feel the same.
- drekk 2y agoIf you live without modern technology in a sufficiently remote place, you don't know what you're "missing". Maybe they'd be receptive to contact and technological/cultural exchanges if "modern society" respected their land and beliefs.
- qeternity 2y agoYes, I agree, this is my point. Don’t destroy people’s habitats. But depriving people of modernity is some sort of savior complex.
