And what if he has the knowledge that even if he could help, it'd do more harm in the end anyways? Cuz that's what anthropologists are telling you and you're letting your emotions get the best of you when you claim they're full of s***.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. And it's people like you who claim you know better than people who's profession it is to know this kinda thing. All because of a knee jerk emotional reaction based on 0 knowledge 0 expertise and 0 logic. You think they're ignoring people in need out of pure apathy? Cmon man, think better.

You don't need to be an expert in a certain field to hold a desire for a type of society you want to live in. That's also logical from an evolutionary standpoint.

Human solidarity should trump notions of "professionalism" (and should also be a very knee-jerk reaction).

See you chalking it up to mere professionalism proved my point that you're too ignorant on the subject to be able to contribute anything meaningful critiques. This isn't just about tradition or professionalism, it's the knowledge that you'll likely end up doing more harm than good.

You don't even know what you don't know. So again, just take my advice and defer to the professionals and don't let your knee jerk reactions allow you to sacrifice long term improvement for short term gains.

Also, this is a strawman and tbh I think you're actually making a more emotional argument out of assumptions than me. And I say that as someone who posits that human emotion is undoubtedly needed for social cohesion and doesn't shy away from that accusation.

You don't know what a strawman argument is, and you're obviously incapable of defending the accusation that my argument is borne out of emotion since it requires you to suppress your emotional desires in order to do what you know is right.

Cmon man, you know you're just talking out your ass now, you're not even trying to base your argument on anything objective.

And why does she deserve to be released and not everybody else that got the same punishment?

This is another strawman. Nobody is suggesting anthropologists go on a crusade to seek out every victim around the globe.

Actually your post is the strawman since no one came close to accusing you of saying anthropologists should circle the globe looking for victims to save, but that's what you accused him of saying since that's far easier to argue against than actual reality.
