In this bit10 moments
  • Starlink was given to an uncontacted Amazonian tribe, connecting them to the internet and dividing them within nine months.
  • Tim wants every uncontacted tribe hopelessly addicted to porn and social media rather than living by necessity and custom.
  • The tribe is now grappling with the same challenges that have plagued American households for years: addiction to phones, gossip, scams, and minors watching pornography.
  • The tribe members are now on TikTok; a husband sits in a hut on his phone while his wife tries to sleep.
  • The tribe was probably happy a year ago until they learned there's more, and now they know what they're missing.
  • Tribe members are watching real estate shows and wondering why they can't have toilets or see Taylor Swift in an arena.
  • American culture is at its lowest point ever—banal across the board, insane, and simultaneously boring.
  • The tribe is being introduced to the internet at the worst possible time, when children identify as animals, adults wear diapers, and people with Down syndrome do drag.
  • Their first taste of American culture on TikTok is crackheads, Waffle House brawls, and drag performances by people with Down syndrome.
  • The tribe spent their entire lives spearfishing in the river; now they're watching people with Down syndrome perform drag shows they don't understand.
