Upon this I say we bring in the essence of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion" and put the qualities in the mind of the lecturers all over the world as well then, as I saw some Hobbit houses on #GoogleMaps in NZ!
What is even the point of this video? He keeps referencing 'indigenous knowledge' and 'science' as if they are even in the same arena. Tradition and religious values have their place of importance, but science is supposed to be a universal area of objective reality and not something that should be influenced by local culture.
Exactly! My culture is from an ethnic tribe in remote areas we believe in ancestral spirit and shaman but I'll never try to force that in school as it is for me and my family to know. Science is science and it is the people's choice on how to use science for good or bad. Science doesn't have a conscience it's just a took and belongs to everyone of every race
"Western mainstream culture focuses on the self. I think, therefore I am. Individualism." Oh, my god! How the Hell does a university professor so horrendously misinterpret Renes Decartes' famous epistemological statement, as an expression of individualism? No wonder these people are willing to draw an equivalence between Matauranga Maori and science.
I've attended your lectures, no reira kia mau te wehi!, na te mea . ko koe te aroha me wairua mo te ao maori o aoteroa..Your love for and inspiration for our beautiful coutry...Could teach more people to be kotahitanga...I love your korero and your enthusiasm of science and papatuanuku... thank you
Kia ora John, you may find that the 'Moa hunters' were not actually "Maori". They were a related Polynesian but vastly different culture to what survived and arrived after the start of the moa extinctions. It is interesting no-one mentions moa to Capt Cook, Banks or Tupaia during the first 1769 voyage. Kiatiakitanga is the traditional knowledge and wairua born from past lessons and now stand as a testament to time for us all. Classical Maori culture as we know it is a whole different ball game my friend. The blame game is pointless, its the lessons that matter because the stakes are still the same. Extinction.
The chip on this guy's shoulder could likely be spotted on the moon. So much anger, so little understanding of what Science is, how it came to be, how universal its application.
The Maori way of living with nature is legendary. Take the giant Moa birds, for instance. Maori drove several species to extinction with just spears and arrows. Imagine how they could help with modern weapons?
i didnt even know Simon Barnett is a Maori,....! but besides that Something else seems wrong with this,... whoever that white dude talking is he needs to be told about Ra.
What has this got to do with racism you ignoramus? Science is fucking science. Plain and simple. We shouldnt be allowing mythology and voodoo crap to interfere with facts!!!
@@kiwichippie5465 so to say "science is science" doesn't make a lot of sense. And why doesn't your mind ho to "primative thinking" when you think of matauranga Maori?
@@kiwichippie5465 it's just interesting that you associate maori knowledge and ways of knowing as primative. While also being confused about where the racism is.
@@kiwichippie5465 what does this have to do with Matauranga Maori? And yeah, generalizing an entire group of people as "primate" is a pretty racist thing to do, my dude.
What is a "spiritual safe environment" when doing a dissection, or something else in a lab, when working with animals?

Thanks for saying that. I had the same reaction whilst listening!
So true so real
Religion and science don’t mix.
Māori is not a religion dumbass
Don’t be ignorant

Please grow a brain
Ask these same people if you can teach intelligent design in a science class and watch them go nuts.
Need to get rid of the subtitles
Maybe the Maori can learn us sustainability by telling us how they made the moa extinct.
ดี

Maybe you can "learn us" some English first so your sentence makes sense..
shit, i wouldn't even bother trying to explain or respond trying to educate this arrogant ****
Apparently “spirit” and “life force” are scientific terms now. Science is science. Ethics is ethics. What a joke
Exactly
science is yet to catchup with Mātauranga Māori

don't kid yourself - your arrogance and ignorance is showing. Go home...

Exactly... This is just ridiculous this speech of his... So sad this is taking place, whilst science is already is facing difficult times.
What happened to the moa and mori ori?
@@psyaviah shut up idiot
Complete straw man of "western science"
If we need Maori for science (witch we don't) then show it to the whole world, not just nz. Science is universal. Superstition isn't.
Shut up idiot
All the people involved in the creation of this video should be fired.
Your mum should be fired
Bye, go back to your own land
But it isn’t science.
mean
"Indigenous" way to sugarcoat superstitions
DISLIKE
Dislike your mum

Lol this video really triggered some racists...
Very helpful video! Thanks, John!
