This is a continuation of ideas presented in part 1, "The Giver Culture", and part 2, "Why a Giver Culture?"

I pulled the below section out of an article in the New Yorker titled: Recursion and Human Thought: Why The Piraha Don't have Numbers. It just goes to show some cultures can't be influenced by the magic show that our culture puts on for them.

This article made me sad for those whose lives have been forever changed by our societys lifestyle.  Let me know what you think the solution would be for these people?  And could it work?

I just read about Leroy smith and the world as it existed in the early days of the last century on the Olympic Peninsula.  This book, “Pioneers of the Olympic Peninsula,”  was a meandering tale of how life was life for the early folks on the peninsula – with most of the action taking place between 1895 and 1920 during the author’s youth and young adulthood.  I purchased this book because I am a firm believer that we cannot know where we are going until we know where we’ve been and I was interested in learning more about this area of my home state that has so entranced me, and taken my heart.
