  • When human rights advocate Manu Peni returned to Papua New Guinea from abroad, he built a home for himself using modern techniques -- and promptly learned a harsh lesson on how the newest ideas aren't always the best ideas. Peni calls for us all to rethink who we consider experts, particularly when it comes to building in the face of climate change, showing how Indigenous wisdom must work in harmony with new science and technology if we want to create a sustainable future.

    A wonderful talk. I hope more Indigenous voices get amplified to the rest of the world by TED and everyone else who opens their ears to listen. These insights are the best hope for the wellbeing of future generations.

    I just wish some parts of the world can be left untouched. I think we as humans have already gone far and beyond to use the world to our benefit. Anyone reading this, let’s try to preserve the few that are left…please. Thanks for understanding 💙

      @@AKC357 We can’t point fingers. It’s not just a particular race that is causing the harm. I’ve seen even people like us doing worse. Also, most of our very own people make it far easy for these to happen. It’s truly sad and I feel disappointed but we need to reason this out with our minds, not our hearts no matter how hurt we may feel. Bless you fam 💙🙏🏾

      I agree, but there is some nuance to it. If I could rephrase it, I would say I wish people's unique cultures were held on a pedestal and incentives were stacked toward preserving cultures rather than abandoning them. People abandon their culture's ways of life for positive and negative reasons. Negative: because of racism, greed, etc, minority cultures are victimized by the dominant culture, and so they can escape some that by joining the dominant culture. Positive: because of the benefits of being part of the dominant culture, like healthcare, security, and wealth, people in minority cultures leave their way of life to join the dominant culture. To say that we must isolate a group of people for their own protection is to take away their agency also. Treating them as equals and as valued guests, seeking to know their culture and listening to their POV and their wants and needs, then they can have many of the positives, less of the negatives, and hopefully retain their culture in a multi-generational way.

    There is definitely wisdom by diversifying the approaches to problems, by including those that have been passed down through the ages and found a way to survive to this day. No need to redefine expertise, but rather, amplify its scope.

    Humans have understood the solution to our current problem for many thousands of years. It's only in recent history that we have forgotten, drunk with our power over the natural world. That power is only temporary if we keep going this way. Both indigenous cultures and science reveal the truth, we just choose not hear, fearing that we may lose our power, that we may lose our way of life. What's so good about this anyway? All I see is a bunch of stressed out people, and the wonders of nature being destroyed, and along with it, our future.

  • @vadimmedvedev7895

    It is not one or the other, we can gain wisdom from all sorts of communities all over the world. A couple of things though, without mining and extraction, we don't have modern civilization. We can do it sustainably and carefully, but to dismiss it as bad for the earth simply won't work.
    Also, every single human is indigenous to somewhere, so why don't we just aggregate all knowledge instead of pretending one view is better because of some artificial label.
    Every society values human capital and connections. There is no "this culture's way of knowing" that is only available to them. Everyone can understand everyone else given some effort and empathy.
    Lastly, catastrophizing climate change doesn't help and only turns people off and makes them anxious for no reason. Practical cumulative changes and technology will solve much more than blame, false moral outrage and patronizing rhetoric.
