    I know it's silly but I genuinely kind of wish I could live in one of those isolated Polynesian island tribes in like the 1200s, just sailing around with the bros and living on an island with a nice community. Maybe I'm doing a "noble savage" thing here, but learning about the tribes that still exist make me think they have something figured out.

      It was/is a good life. Arguably better than ours.

      But there's still plenty of war and bad shit, though at a less intense scale. Cultural roles are often not all that, food supply is not as secure as you might think, and if you get too many people on your island you may find yourself on a boat with the rest of the losers pointed at where someone swears, honest, they saw a seagull one time.

        I chose isolated island tribe because I hoped contact with others would be minimal. Like, as cool as I think the Salish lifestyle was, they were constantly getting raided by the Haida and shit. I feel like there has to be some tribe throughout history that has pretty much remained insular enough to not interact with any other tribes on a large scale. Kind of like those natives that merced the missionary a few years ago.

      nah, i mean, sailing around fishing and chilling on a beach sounds like a good life.
