156 - The Forbidden Island

You're not going to believe me, but on Google maps, there is a South Sentinel island. Apparently there is a local restaurant with pretty good reviews. Who knew! 🤷‍♂️ https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pe599JWbED86Yja37

On a related topic, the autobiography of John Paton is a fascinating read. He was a missionary to the New Hebrides in the 1800's. I highly enjoyed this episode!

Destin, demonstrating the physics behind Nate Saint’s flying bucket technique would make an excellent SED episode, just sayin’!

Hilarious and deep! Lots of good thought inspired from this one. I've been thinking lately on power, safety, and meaning. How sometimes people only prioritize power and survival, not meaning and created culture. Like building a powerful bridge and forcing people to cross it then burning it, instead of inviting them as you talked. Contact, and also capturing a place from people, can alter the culture so much. Even wipe it out. Thought about the Lascaux paintings too. If it's worth creating reminders or content of something in order to know it enough to still protect it from being changed too much by in-person presence. Being immersed in nature helps us see where life all started. Culture though is fostered by enough people together connecting with one another and forging meaning. The interesting edges. Not letting cultures be seems...off-PUDDING. Look at nature. Nature didn't become complex only by conquering. Its symbiosis is incredible. I love humanity's ability to collaborate forward toward better, even acknowledging history's mixed messiness.

So you guys got me searching what I could see online and there is a visible shipwreck on the Google Maps imagery at the NW corner of North Sentinel Island. https://www.google.com/maps/place/North+Sentinel+Island/@11.5934096,92.211869,377m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x30863a35c7c1b4e1:0x22f2e4fd1e2aa9c5!8m2!3d11.5503652!4d92.2335066!16zL20vMDR0anpf
