I wonder what it's like to be Sentinelese...

This isn't directly related to the guy who was killed. It just reminded me of them.

Like, what is their culture like? What are their myths and legends? How is their language built up, grammar-wise? What do they tell each other about outsiders to make them refuse outsider interaction with a burning passion?

I think it is so interesting to truly ponder how a person grows up, what they are taught, and their experiences that drive their actions. It is amazing how the brain can be so easily molded, how we can only think in the language and words we were taught. How perhaps the frustration of life in not asking to exist yet being forced to adapt through reward and punishment makes people resent everything and everyone because empathy has never been demonstrated to them. I like that you ponder things such as these. It helps us look at the roots of things rather than simply get offended and want to destroy the attacker without ever finding the cause of the attack.
