I mean, that island is kinda small…
Does the resources required to develop the technology that we have, even exist on that island?
Do they just remain “uncontacted” forever?
I mean what even is the ethical thing to do?
On one hand, they don’t have immunity, so we shouldn’t risk them getting diseases, therefore, leave them be.
BUT:
On the other hand, we have the medicine to help them live longer. Shouldn’t we try to gift them our technology so they are better equipped to survive?
What would a philosopher say about this? What does internation laws and the international community say about this?
What’s their future?
What do you personally think about this?
Who knows, there is small chance that they will continue to live like they do now. Realistically they are very limited in numbers, and resource poor, and essentially locked inside their current territories, so one small scale tragedy away from extinction.
Personally I think that their current situation is just an artifact of 20th century.
