Honestly makes you think, doesn't it?
What makes the average man any better than savages if neither knows how these modern technological marvels actually work?
>>
Even if he could perfectly explain the modern marvels the savages would not understand.
Maybe there's a massive difference between group behavior and individual behavior
you think like a woman
>>
The average man still could explain more than those savages
>>
>>18447554
>>18447641
Yup. Let's say he did know how to build these things. The savages would still not understand, and they would take them and destroy them like chimps. Quit being a retarded faggot.
>>
The argument was always that savagery is bad, not the savages themselves.
>>
How on earth could one keep their dignity and post disgusting racism onto the internet. If you want to spread misinformation, don’t post anonymously.
>>
>>18447554
In this case the average man still has some conceptual understanding of how the thing works even if he doesn't have a perfect technical understanding. He doesn't chalk it up to magic, he understands that it's designed by an intelligent engineer who has devoted years of his life to learning his craft and that should be met with appreciation and admiration by the average man. Average Joe might not be able to design it, but he will be able to read a blueprint made by a smart engineer and when their contributions are combined the magic happens. Society needs both thinkers and doers and both roles should be appreciated because they are synergistic.

You white racist pathetic losers are such worthless people. The "savages" are not inferior to you, you are as inferior as them. Go build a cellphone from scratch for your loved ones, can you do it? No. Create electricity for your loved ones, can you do it? No, you worthless white faggots. You are nobodies and the white race isn't intrinsically smarter, you are shit people like anyone else.

Wanna know who can? Some of those "savages" make absolutely everything you and all white nations do. India, Brazil nowadays, South East Asia (and China in the past) make EVERYTHING. If society collapsed tomorrow, India and Brazil would be able to rebuild inmediately meanwhile allow white bastards would be living in ruins and squalor. You don't know how to manufacture anything, you don't even know how to sew clothing, that's how little knowledge white people have. Meanwhile all Latino nations and south east Asian nations are full of families that craft most of the items they use themselves. The mudhuts and clay brick houses you mock in Africa, Mexico, Peru, and the nicer houses but still "natural esque" houses in India, Brazil and SEA etc whites don't even know how to build them.

Once an apocalypse happens whites will fucking die and the savages will continue living and even thriving boooom fuck you.

Not much of a challenge when there's nothing to rebuild in the first place.

India's power generation uses EU/USA/China turbines and generators. If society collapsed tomorrow India will quickly retreat back to iron age.

Even more humiliatingly, those blacks could probably assemble their most advanced technology by themselves right in front of him.

>>18447554
Suppose you're a roofer, electrician, or doctor. You have a high technical knowledge and practical ability in your own field, but you can only use that knowledge in a certain context and with the right equipment. Being a roofer presupposes modern construction equipment, and of course roofs in the first place.

A primitive tribesman, likewise, has a similar level of knowledge and practical ability, but only in his cultural/ecological niche. An average westerner dropped into the jungle would need help learning how to survive, and a jungle tribe guy would need help surviving in our society.

Lmao you really don't know much. Like in general spare parts and repairs in yhe west still faces similar dilemmas in regards to "what happens if X broke down". Supply chains haven't been wholly isolated from global and regional shocks for ages. Even for repairs you still need dedicated staff to do it and you'd STILL need to order parts regardless.

>>18448081
The whole logiatics of maintenence and upkeep still isn't what one would call a solved problem. Maybe outside of China but they have a very peculiar history with energy generation and pass transport infrastructure that isn't really replicable elsewhere.

You extremely overestimate the average man.

>He doesn't chalk it up to magic, he understands that it's designed by an intelligent engineer who has devoted years of his life to learning his craft and that should be met with appreciation and admiration by the average man.
Might as well be magic lol. Also the hypothetical engineers you described basically paints him like some sort of wizard.

>Average Joe might not be able to design it, but he will be able to read a blueprint made by a smart engineer and when their contributions are combined the magic happens.
Lmao, those blueprints might as well be Chinese on a shampoo bottle to him. You think he'd instantly be able to parse out what shot means in a blueprint made by and for professionals in that field.

its funny because all those simple inventions in the image are actually easy to explain and have simple principles behind them
>telephone
sound vibrations converted to electrical signals reconverted at the other end
>car
internal combustion engine driving a crankshaft driving a driveshaft
Now digital technology is even more complicated. I honestly can't even begin to tell you how to make even a simple megabyte chip like what was being made in the 80s
>>
>>18447554
Back when men were men, magazines for men (and boys) were full of practical science articles and DIY ideas and schematics for contraptions that were at least approximations of high-tech goods.
Also that comic says more about the savages than anything, if you went back in time and described those devices to a literal Renaissance man or a Song dynasty scholar they would likely yell eureka! and run off to build something.

Here's what happened to a couple of American missionaries in Ecuador in 1956 after they showed local natives a little bit of modern technology:
>Initially, the meeting was amicable. The missionaries cooked hamburgers for their visitors, shared insect repellent with them, even took them for rides over the dense green forest in the yellow Piper, which the Indians named the “wood bee.”
>The Americans showed the Huaorani a photograph of Dayuma, a woman from their tribe who had fled many years before, during a wave of intra-tribal killings.
>The missionaries’ friendly gestures didn’t save their lives.
>George, the Americans’ nickname for the Huaorani man who had greeted them, told the tribe that the white men were cannibals who had attacked him.
>This belief was reinforced by the photograph of Dayuma. George said the image proved that the missionaries had possession of her spirit.
>Two days after the missionaries and the Huaorani met, six tribal warriors attacked Palm Beach. One by one, they slaughtered the missionaries with 9-foot spears. Although the missionaries were armed, they chose to fire their guns into the air instead of shooting the Indians.

They won't. If you can't explain how you did something and how to replicate it then it's pure fiction to them. Galileo was put to trial because heliocentrism wasn't fully proven at the time.

>>18448195
They should have brought neighboring tribesmen who spoke their language
Imagine being hunter gatherers in 1956 lmao couldnt be my tribe
>>
>>18448195
They didn't EXPLAIN modern technology, they just showed it. Imagine arriving in ancient Rome and showing them your cellphone and pictures of the current emperor (or of an emperor who had just died/disappeared), they would kill you on the spot thinking you are trying to capture their soul or some shit. This is what happened to the explorers you fucking retard.
Also
>Ecuador
Almost all history and trivia facts about that nation are complete fucking lies because nobody knows that nation, like how in the past people invented lies about asian and African nations. Example, when COVID happened, actual reputable newspapers and cable tv news were reporting that Ecuador had massive piles of millions of COVID deaths, mountains of black bodybags. The end of the world and you should get the shot in first world nations! If you checked the demographic census right after COVID of all Latino nations, they actually grew in number, no massive deaths anywhere. Another example is how one YouTube channel made a video about a fictional war between Ecuador and sheeps and how the sheeps won and killed 100k Ecuadorians or something, the source was a single article with no sources and an anonymous author yet many history trivia YouTube channels started reposting the same story about this sheep war in Ecuador.

It is like people lying about Haiti saying there is a cannibal king right now ruling the island. Nobody cares enough about Haiti to confirm the facts and "historians" and journalists know this so they just lie for fun, even if all falsehoods are cleared later, nobody cares about those nations so their reputations never take a hit.

>They didn't EXPLAIN modern technology, they just showed it.
As OP points out the average civilized man do not really understand it either, but unlike the savage he is far less prone to irrational outbursts when he comes across technology that seems incomprehensible to him. If it had happened in ancient Rome this would have been far less likely to happen as they had complex technologies of their own, their very life-like statues and busts could even have faced the same exact reaction from a savage that it was a captured spirit or whatever.
>Also
Nigga, this isn't something Alex Jones made up. Five people actually went into the Ecuadorian Amazon to spread the gospel only to be murdered by angry tribesmen, and some years later those tribesmen have told outsiders what happened.

Good luck to make these explanations you gave understandable to the average neolithic negro in early 20th century Africa
