#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

We know that across the Amazon basin, there's still perhaps thousands of clans of quote unquote uncontacted peoples, people that are living in nomadic isolation in what remains of the intact Amazon basin and want to remain that way.

And so what happened with these loggers was that local people told them, don't go out there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

Don't go into these territories.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And what happens is that people that aren't from... This is the thing with the jungle.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

People don't believe that...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

It's as wild as the legends say.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And so when they say there's Kalatos out there, there's wild people out there, these loggers from another region go, yeah, some story, we're fine, we'll go.

We have shotguns.

#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

They don't realize you're dealing with

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

a civilization of people that is still nomadic, still uses bamboo-tipped arrows, still lives naked in the Amazon rainforest, has knowledge of medicines that we have yet to encounter or may never discover, and that they can hit a spider monkey out of the treetops at 40 meters.

And so while you're using a chainsaw, they can sneak up and you will never know they're there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And so when that arrow passes through your body,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

You'll only have a moment to realize it before you fall over.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

Yes.

#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And that's incredibly sharp.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

They cure it over the fire and they have a way of sharpening it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

That edge of bamboo becomes incredibly like knife sharp.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

You can cut meat with it easily.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

I've done it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

Yeah, and so to be holding that, look at that.
