Outrail posted:Imagine paying money to stand in a poop queue They can pass the poop bags down in the conga line, turn those lemons to lemonade! Or maybe try a free market solution. Every climber pays $200 pawn fee for their poo and get handed poo bags. If they don't bring those bags down with them, there's incentive for locals to climb the mountain to collect the bags.

Yes it's not normal at 8848 but 3700m is totally routine, all the mountain huts around here are resupplied by helicopter and it's fine. Maybe your pilots suck? Come to Zermatt and fly round the Matterhorn for a few bucks https://www.air-zermatt.ch/de

You might be able to guess I’m working through National Geographic documentaries when I recommend The Mission. I don’t know if it quite fits this thread, but it involves a fairly wealthy young American preparing but not nearly enough for an unwise trip to an exotic locale, getting himself killed immediately, and disrespecting indigenous people. However, it does not have snow or altitude, so ymmv. This is about the evangelical Christian kid who decided that he was going to convert the Sentinelese people, aka the tribe that remains minimally contacted because (for good reason) they kill almost everyone who tries. It’s a little more complex than the news stories that came out at the time (2018), but the main reason to recommend it is the extremely relevant interviews they managed to get. https://films.nationalgeographic.com/the-mission

The potential for spreading a disease they have no resistance is enough to say the outcome was a best case scenario for everyone involved.

religions that force youth to go proselytize are cults and the people who are brainwashed by them are victims and that uncontacted tribe committed murder, albeit of a tresspasser, so no worse than the castle doctrine assholes all over rural america I have very little sympathy for the dead guy but I have no joy in his death either, it's gross and symptomatic of our society continuing to tolerate incredibly evil behavior by cultish religions carrying on the traditions of colonization without any restriction because "freedom of religion" and while another dead colonizer doesn't make me feel like that tribe did the worst thing ever

I don’t even know what that would look like, but it would be interesting to hear more about their concepts. I also think it adds an interesting layer of complication that he was half Chinese (first gen) and obviously wouldn’t have grown up in a Christian context if not for western Christians/evangelicals/colonialists in China at some point.

I think it was more a case of not wanting people to think they were laughing at a poc getting killed, and then dealing with a social media dog pile. Poking fun at a white Christian male who died trying to force Jesus on some island people is pretty cut and dried. When its a poc there's nuance and Twitter isn't exactly the level headed platform to explore exactly why you're laughing at a minority's death.

One of the things about "lost tribes" and "pre-contact" peoples is that they're not actually lost or pre-contact, ever; they just haven't been documented by Western anthropologist contact. Sometimes they haven't actually directly met a white person. But these remote tribes have always have had contact with their neighbors, because if they didn't, they'd be a genetic island and inevitably experience generational inbreeding problems, and generally they know things about Westerners that have been told to them by those neighbors. Cultural anthropologists "discovering" "primitive" tribes and then studying them has had a sordid history that is better than the history of religious prosyletizers, but not like... great. I took a couple of anth classes in college and it was some pretty depressing reading.
