Imagine how their world would change if they knew the truth.
The truth that Amazon Prime and FedEx are the deities of cargo and all things deliverable.
diGritz1 don’t forget the bringers of the UPS! Remember, it comes from the up and delivers the UPS...it brings promises of well, not sure: the means to go up or the explanation of what IS up there?
Alexander-Maurice Mill I trust you DO understand I was not at all being serious or even remotely considering anything beyond the fact the acronym also means something, which doesn’t work with DHL. Sorry ‘bout your package, I know UPS has been known to make the occasional mistake or two 🙄
Alexander-Maurice Mill Cheers then! ✌️😉👍
Take John Frum and insert Jesus Christ. Do you really think telling someone they are wrong will change anything? Knowledge is only powerful if people want to believe it.
Have you prayed to your UPS shrine today brother?

Many channels can’t even get their depictions of native peoples correct let alone anything else right!
Thank you.
He got a little colonialist for a minute, and then rounded it up respectfully talking about wealth inequality. Very fair and balanced :)
To think that these people got this way simply due to "wealth inequality" is absolutely insane.
@@Logan_93 Do you have survival experience? I don't get how you can look down on the "intelligence" of these people if you could not feed, shelter and clothe yourself if left on an island. The concept of IQ is simplistic and rooted in a bias toward western thinking and assumes the very baseline of wealth being mentioned.
So I have to ask, just to be clear, are you saying that they are genetically inferior? Is it your opinion that an average newborn child taken from this island would not be educable to say the high school graduate level if they were raised in a wealthy western household and attended schools there? If that is not your assertion than the only thing lacking is the wealth. It's hard to find time for calculus when your days are spent on subsistence living. It's hard to build beyond subsistence living when you are stuck on an island with very limited resources.
@@Logan_93 Damn your IQ must be so lower because you won't even survive a month in an island.
@@Logan_93 wow... your IQ must be really low if you can't even remotely understand the situation

Some of the people of Tanna actually came to the USA (with our help) in search of a man they called "Jim Navy." He was a US Navy soldier who guided the tribe out of danger during wartime, and they credit him for the preservation of their culture. There's an interesting documentary about it.

I figured it out actually, his name was Tom Navy

Remember reading about this in National Geographic back in the 70's. Hard to believe that this still goes on.

Lol . I guess thats how it gos down
I heard a third hand story about a couple of Australian blokes visiting a Micronesian Island in their boat, which had Johnson outboard engines. The locals were obsessed by the idea that the presence of these outboards was a sign that cargo was imminent.
We're seeing a prime example of how religions formed. Humans saw interesting stuff they can't explain easily, they thought it was mysterious and magical, BAM - god. Very cool, love their dedication, especially since it's completely harmless.
That simple? Life for you must be full of sparklies.
I like to imagine that John Frum was just a random GI who drank the drug tea, thought it was awesome; and started a mad legendary party.

This is the equivalent of people dressing up as aliens to go to area 51
This makes me wonder if an advanced alien people were to reveal themselves to the people of Earth, would we start worshipping them?
@@thegreenbird795 I'm more concerned with the updates on existing religions, I bet they'll try to find any explanation to fit with their narrative, and that's gonna be entertaining.
"This is the equivalent of people dressing up as aliens to go to area 51"
Only if people expected the aliens to start giving them free things cause they where supposed to belong to the people, but for some mystifystical f*****g reason ended up with the aliens.
this ordeal perfectly simulates following a youtbe redstone tutorial.
this made me imagine that aliens have their own youtube and made a video titled, "What Really Happens on The Universe's Most Primitive Planet?"
I mean...this isn't far out tho
What planet is that if earth that's a stretch because we don't know the development of other planets or how many species even develop to this point or in the galaxy as a whole.
So I highly dounbt we are the most primitive civilization definitely not the most advanced (if there are other advanced civilization out there) but definitely not the most primitive because the most primitive will be stone age.
@@allistancooper1502 yes, we don't know the development of other planets, like the people who live in that island not knowing the development of the earth

I am from Papua New Guinean my friend, on the 5th day of quarantine on my way to work.. damn Covid. During the last five days I've watched your videos and come to love your absolutely quality presentations. I couldn't be more prouder when you brought out a, however, "not-so-proud-of" history of ours here. But I must say you're a true historian, with possibly imense efforts to studying and background checks for your materials, unlike some I've come across. Fairly accurate in your reference to how "big man" were (or maybe, are) perceived culturally within our societies and how this viewing paved for "cargo cults" to spring up here and there in those years. As it's been decades ago, things have changed a lot. However it saddens me to see some other forms of the similar "cargo cult" putting on a different mask these days and still people keep falling for their get-rich-quick promises (think this is more of a worldwide problem). Long story short, thank you for your sincere and well expressed conclusions in the video regarding community bonding :) keep them videos coming. For this video, I subscribe to your channel 👍
I first learned of the existence of cargo cults from the 1962 film ‘Mondo Cane’ (Dog’s World); a very interesting documentary covering a wide range of bizarre cultural practices around the world.
These people are more dedicated to America than the Americans.

@Spirit of source 22 no I don't, but it would be like asking a human if leprechauns exist?
god is just "I don't know, therefore god" so every discovery humanity makes, makes the probability of existence smaller (and he's running out of things to claim).
Makes me think of the episode of Star Trek The Next Generation called "Who watches the watchers?", when Picard beams that girl up and she's in awe of the transporter and doors that open simply when you get close enough.
Started a bit flippantly but then became thoughtful and rather sympathetic. A very good presentation. Thank you.

Going there with a bunch of cargo and getting worshipped is an interesting idea. You could basically live the rest of your life as a god. From there, you could work remotely, e.g. as a software developer, by using a satellite connection like Starlink and ordering gasoline periodically for your power generator, so you'd have money for more "cargo" and thus cement your position as a local cargo deity.
Sounds good until u fail to solve their problems and you get stigmatized as a "false god" and that never ends well. Usually ends over a fire.
@@SpuddMacgyver Yep, good point.
I wish I was a rich enough so I could charter a plane to drop them some "cargo".
I'd give them food and medicine, instructions to make more, and when to use the meds.
Best do that with the Andaman Islands, in the Indian Ocean, as they kill all who land on the islands.

You're walking along the beaches of Rustafield when you hear an ear-piecing screech, you jerk your to the head side. You're met meet eye to eye with a bald naked man squatting on a nearby boulder. You're petrified in the uncomfortable silence when suddenly in a 9 year old's voice "WHERE IS LOOOOOOT, WHERE IS CRAAAAAATE, YOU HAVE CRAAAATE!!!!!". Terrified you turn a 360 and make a b line into the forest. "WHY RUNNING, YOU HAVE AK!!!! GIVE ME AK!!! GIVE ME LOOOT BL- A gunshot cuts the screeching off as you hear various older British voices in the distance "FOOOOOK!!! BLOODY BASTID HE DONT GOT THE LOOOOOT!!! OI YOU RUNNING AFTER ME AIRDROP YOU YANKEE FOOKIN CUNT EH!!! ME FOOKIN CROIT!!". Bullets fly past you as nearby buildings begin exploding, exchanging rocket fire on the crowd of bald females gathered near the side of a mountain.

Thoughty2: "How come these cargo cults still exist even though no one has dropped any cargo for decades?"
Me: "Well no Christian God has shown himself for far longer"
Exactly... as a Christian myself I don't think that's the weird part, rather the weird part is how they are maintaining their belief system while in such close proximity to the events which clearly spawned it and are 100% non-miraculous.
Kind of like how the Jews and Romans viewed Christianity when it got started. It has this aura of respectability now due to age, but at the time it was as if (say) people in the Middle East began worshiping some random guy who got shot by the Americans after being denounced as a terrorist by a local collaborator. That's what it would seem like to the Romans. It's understandable that some locals would be upset and maybe start a cult, but why would some Americans (Romans) join in, especially when the story is based on such a relatively mundane series of events, regardless of rumors that the dead guy somehow got better a few days later? Very weird.
