That has nothing to do with my question, which you deflected from.

I literally replied to a post of yours in which you are whining, and you call me out for whining?


It's ok to admit you are complaining about something in this thread but are guilty of the same thing you are complaining about. That's what you're doing, so I don't know why you're going to get all pissy like a school girl trying to deny it.

Absolutely. Hypocrisy.

If you don't like the status quo, find something better. I guess that's "complaining" to you people.

They tend to murder outsiders so no, they're doing fine by themselves.

And you don't like the complaining, yet you're not forced to read it or participate or be involved in any way with it, but here you are doing literally the exact same thing you're complaining about.

I would say we need examples of Stone Age groups of people to remind us where we came from.

But currently we have a whole religion that advocates throwing stones for justice that's wildly popular.

Probably. Pushing Neolithic holdouts into modern society doesn't seem to have been that positive for many

If Vulcans and Wookies were real would you have better feelings towards them if:

A) they offered to exchange technology and art with us

B) they refused to divulge information that would help speed along our research

The thing is, people sometimes are whining and don’t realize it. Often they are whining about whining.

I think they should have choices. But their chances of contentment are probably higher in the jungle than in the slums of large S. American cities.

Sentinelese Tribe

These are widely considered the most uncontacted isolated people on Earth. Have been for thousands of years. They are stone age level people. Can't communicate with them, only contact has been leaving coconuts on their beach. Most people/boats/helicopters get shot at with bows and spears. They've killed people who came close. I think only one group of civilized people has ever even hand to hand contacted them. It was like the 70's

These frickers are interesting as hell

Naw man, for one we'd most likely kill any people isolated like that with a virus. Whoops

Getting over that hurdle. What's the point of getting them involved in the world? If they want to come explore sure. But we shouldn't force our society on their tribes. They'd be swallowed whole.
