freebooter posted:Interesting case study here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sentinel_Island I thought something similar to the OP when first reading of the Sentinelese people. In much the same way that I would prefer some Class II civilization monitoring Earth would have the decency to offer Earth and/or its individuals a chance to join greater galactic civilization, it seems only fair to present each generation of isolated peoples with a fair assessment of the deprivations and benefits of joining global society. I can think of a few problems with this, though: 1. Solving the disease problem 2. Finding out how to describe things a people have no frame of reference for 3. Delivering your message in a way that doesn't get the messenger shot with an arrow EDIT: This is assuming that an industrialized way of living is objectively equal in quality of life.
