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?

    Looking at the state of affairs right now, I’m not entirely sure this is the effect the “gift of technology” has had. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up outliving all of us.
