So now they are just like everyone else

No one could have possibly seen this outcome!

I just want to say that there's a lot of blame to go around for this, but it's not the fault of porn.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give them the internet?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

No idea. Haven't they learned that undereducated people don't deserve the internet? Just look at north america.

They're a Human tribe who has not decided against interacting with the wider world, so they have as much as a right to access the Internet as anyone else

“But now, things have gotten worse. Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet, they’re learning the ways of the white people.”

Shots fired

The Marubo are a chaste tribe, who even frown upon kissing in public — but Alfredo Marubo (all Marubo use the same last name) said he is anxious that the arrival of the service …

TIL

“We’re worried young people are going to want to try it,” he said of the kinky sex acts they’ve suddenly been exposed to on screen.

Well there were also bad parts to the story besides the ass eating

The New York Post in c/technology, or really anywhere but c/nottheonion?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I debated posting there, I think I'll crosspost

Sometimes it works better like in this case instead : https://www.tiktok.com/@cunhaporanga_oficial

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever seen an Amazonian shaman who wasn't a man tho?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

That's why we need the shawomen and the shachildren too

fearing that history and culture — which is passed down orally — could be lost forever

Or they could just...write it down...on the internet...where many others around the world would also be able to learn about their history and culture.

Also many of the elders literally echo what western elders have been saying about the young generation for a hundred years lmao

If you wouldn't be such a reader and instead memorized things like God intended, you'd know, that this sentiment existed for at least 2000 years:

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

I agree with your point, but I'm not sure if that is a real quote from Socrates: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/01/misbehave/?amp=1

Modernity ruining children for millenia!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago

Well now I’m calling my children cross-legged goblin tyrants in public.

[–] [email protected] 124 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Tribespeople became so addicted that Marubo leaders, fearing that history and culture — which is passed down orally — could be lost forever, they have now limited access to the internet for two hours each morning, five hours each evening, and all day Sunday.

That is still so much internet, we would probably all be healthier following that guideline.

Someone should get them to write a blog before capitalists figure that out

[–] [email protected] 52 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hope it inspires them to document their oral traditions in some way on the Internet. Most likely it would be a blog, but video documentation would be invaluable preservation

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I would love for more of this work to be done in my country too - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have so much lore, history and knowledge that we’ve been losing with each passing generation due to the ongoing effects of colonialism. I agree that video is the most appropriate way to preserve oral traditions and knowledge, and that we should be creating massive publicly-accessible databases to store and view them.
