May 30, 2008: Uncontacted Indigenous People

I don't plan to supply them with anything apart from the knowledge that there is a wider world of human advancement, and they have the right to participate in it.

Once they know that, if they still intend to live in isolation, then I have no problem with that. They're entitled to that privacy, and to the undisturbed continuation of their current way of life. As it stands right now, we're depriving them of the freedom to make that choice. We are insisting that they remain ignorant of the state of modern human society.

I'm not proposing that we do to them, or for them, anything. Maybe that's the point of confusion here.
