#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And no really old people and no women.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

Before even coming to talk to you about this, we passed this through anthropologists and ethicists and people.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And we said, look, is it even, can we talk about this?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

Because if you talk about this and you tell people there's these uncontacted tribes, people have misconceptions.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

They go, they're the last free people on earth.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

They're living the real life.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

We need to go join them.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

We want to see them.

#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

We want to photograph.

#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

There's all this bad stuff that happens

#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And all these people want us to be left alone.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

So the last thing we want to do is kill the thing we're trying to protect and tell the world.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

But at the same time, they're speaking out.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

They're saying, stop cutting our trees, leave us alone.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And so if we're not successful in the greater jungle keepers mission of protecting this river, they cease to exist.

And so advocating for these people requires us to have this conversation and requires us to have this footage and to show the world and then leave them alone.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

In order for any of this to make sense, I have to show you this footage.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And this has not been shown ever before.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

This is a world first.

#489 – Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

I mean, up until now, that's the other thing, you know, we're sitting there this day and, you know, the only thing you've ever seen are these blurry images from someone's cell phone from 100 meters away of the uncontacted tribes.
