That's cool. I wasn't arguing against that. I'm just not sure that they are more spiritual or more satisfied in their lives than anyone else is. It's hard to tell from pictures. Even if we ignore this particular tribe and consider other tribes in South America (like the Ache or the Yanomamo who I know a bit about), I'm still not certain that their lives are any better. For me, it sounds a bit like "
the noble savage".
All that said, the idea of living in small communities with kin and allies with whom you have
"tested the bond" does appeal to me.
