The Folly of White-Sponsored Development

From The Occidental Observer

In the series, we see Mr. Parry eat the unthinkable, don a penis gourd, undergo penile inversion, ingest powerful hallucinogenics, and subject himself to ornamental mutilation. It is an extreme form of ethnography, turned into mass entertainment.

The series was especially interesting to me for two reasons. First, in the episode Cannibals and Crampons, where Mr. Parry spends a month living with practicing cannibals, the Kombai in the forests of West Papua, the expedition party (consisting of Mr. Parry, Mr. Mark Anstice, and a local guide) makes first contact with a tribe never previously known or observed. We are given the opportunity here to witness, if vicariously, how humans who continue to live today as our ancestors lived tens of thousands of years ago react to an encounter with what are effectively highly-evolved descendants visiting from a distant future (more on this later). . . .  More
