When a man lived, study, speaks the language of one of the indigenous…yet his study and claims were rejected…now thats absurd even the so-called-famous linguist unable to do like Dan did!! Dan lived with the Piraha…he lived there for years!! Are those linguist did the same like Dan? I think Dan’s should be recognized for his amazing dedicated work!! Anyway Salute to SLICE for making this brilliant documentary and hope this documentary known to other linguists and intellectuals around the world and interested so they could work wif Dan and recognized his work!! Dan you are one amazing brilliant soul👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹

Slice didn't make it, they bought the rights to show it under certain circumstances. Same with all of their other shows. I saw this on tv many years ago. I forget who made it, but it is an excellent doc. And everything else you said is dead on too. It's an outrage that Chomsky was allowed to slander Daniel that way. He's damn lucky he didn't get his ass sued off! He deserves even more than that. He did severe damage to Daniel's life and his carreer. And he was dead wrong! His theory is pure garbage! Everett never said a bad word about Chomsky, despite the fact that he so much deserved it! He didn't even realize at first what his writing about the Piraha would do. I respect Chomsky's views on many things. My dad knew him back in the 50s, so he must be about 100 now. But I will never forgive him for what he did to Daniel. I also think his stupid theory is a pile of BS. It's crazy. There is no way whatsoever to justify the theory, or the damage he has done in trying to prop it up. He is nothing but a bad person. Period.

@@cattymajiv I don't believe in this conspiracy theory. Many things ruined Dan's live starting from religion, his wife, children who didn't speak with him for years, Piraha people, who tried to kill all his family and the life itself which is mostly evil intrinsically. As of Chomsky, I don't think he has such a political power. The fact that the team of the "programmers" and a linguist or linguists, who supported Dan's idea represents the same institution a part of which Chomsky is. Did Dan publish his work? Did he make all his knowledge publicly available? What was the response of the scientific community? There are other countries in the world apart from the USA and Brazil. Did Dan try to communicate his theory and knowledge to scientists from other countries, where Chomsky's political authority does not reach? Why didn't other scientists concentrate around his such an unusual discovery? I don't believe Chomsky ordered Brazilian authorities to forcefully intervene into Piraha life and methodically eliminate their culture.

Outstanding documentary. As the Pirahas whole culture and way of life is one of mindfulness it’s no wonder they don’t need a recursive language. How much we could learn from them about being happy.

"A grammar of happiness". That hits me

Chomsky's main argument in Hegemony or Survival is that the socio-economic elite who control the United States have pursued an "Imperial Grand Strategy" since the end of World War II to maintain global hegemony through military, political, and economic means. Essentially the same strategy he - Chomsky - is utilising to strangle the fascinating ideas presented by Dan. Turning science into religion indeed. Dan's warmth and humanity eclipses Chomsky's cold arrogance by some margin. I applaud your work Sir, the theory of being married to the present provides such a salient lesson to humanity.😢

It is sad that people who may be experts, in this case of linguistics, are so closed minded and locked up in their world that 'no oe is right but themselves'. So much so that if someone else discovered another possibility, however probable, has to be wrong. Its like saying that I am the smartest person who knows everything and there is nothing else new to learn in this world and there is nothing you can say or teach me that will change my mind. I love the philosophy of living the present, not stressing about the past that cannot be changed and worrying about the future that has not happened. This is just my opinion. And wish Professor Everett the best of luck and that his sacrifices has not been in vain. And thank you SLICE for this wonderful documentary.

So, I would like to say a few things about what Mr.everett is talking about. so I'm not entirely sure if they mentioned this in the documentary, but, he's trying to argue that the pirahã language is non-recursive. I'm going to say a few things about why I think that what he's saying is complete bullshit. pirahã would be the first declared language to be "non-recursive", all other languages in the world have never been declared to be "non-recursive". Noam chomsky is one of the (if not the) most famous linguists in the world. The most notable theory he's come up with is universal grammar. but another thought/theory he has brought up is: recursivity is the cornerstone of language. I can provide you for evidence for this but it's a widely excepted fact that what he's saying is true. recursivity can be found in the following sentence: the dog's apple's tree's twig. the dog owns the apple the apple owns the tree the tree owns the twig and all of it together is the sentence. theoretically if you continued doing that infinitely it would make a completely grammatically correct sentence. that is recursivity, being able to put an infinite amount of arguments within an argument. all languages have recursivity... except, for pirahã. the one language in the world that doesn't have that. you would have to say something like: the dog that owns the apple that owns the tree that owns the twig. but even that would include recursivity. it's impossible to have a language without recursivity, and to you, somebody who doesn't know anything about linguistics, he surves as the galileo of linguistics, defying the so called rational thought and speaking out a truth only to be scilenced. the difference between galileo and Mr.everett is that Mr.everett is making a claim that is impossible to back up no matter how much studying and statistics he does.

Yet his detractors accused him of racist research. And the government that refused him further contact with his friends whose culture he greatly respected, moved in to colonize them.

I agree with Dan that culture does shape grammar deeply. There are at least a distinction between predicate-based style(of Latin and its derivatives) and proposition-based style(as we saw in the video and as in Chinese). Meanwhile, Chomsky is not wrong that proposition-based style is recursive too, as you can see how the Piraha guy accumulated the semantic context in his expression.

Ana...its about PROTECTING THEM,THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, an good on them👌👌🌱🦋

that's why "hindi dapat masyado perfectionist ' pag dating sa grammar, yung mga panay ang puna na akala mo mga tunay na intellectuals linguists' this indigenous people, the way they communicate are more civilized in nature, they used general statements , they don't even know exactly how to count, but they have their own way of communication skills , this documentary makes me awake somehow , kudos to Dan and the pidaha or piraha people, GOD" bless to all of you.

Amazing program! I'm so grateful for documentaries such as this. Thank you so much!

it's just unbelievable.. I highly admire your work, Sir.

How vulgar to reject his findings. What a good man. Im crushed they’ve lost their wild way.

As a Christian, this is a beautiful documentary. I would never lose my faith but seeing people who are happy, is a blessing. I wouldn’t ever want to convert anyone, but would love to experience other cultures and how they deal with life

Exactly. Living in the present is awareness and, as mystics and sages say, happiness and awareness are the same thing.

I live in Bali since 1988. The Balinese live in present and speak in present...but have adapted to tourism to ask about a job tomorrow. It is a cultural and spiritual practice here, it seems.

Great documentary, there are some people that gives me hope but at the other hand. A lot of big interest still are floating, quite sad there are powers that wants to keep people under control. Big egos that seem to feel challenged on their status a big shame. All my support to the community of smart humans that uses their knowledge and intelect to help humanity became more humane. Sad the language disappearing 😢 should be respected and protected.

"The wife will be mad if I kill no fish".. seems to me that is a statement about the future.

Dan has bamboozeld both the church n linguistic heirachy thru study of these fabulous people the piraha. Present moment is where all the great shit cms from ❤

"The power of NOW" great book, we modern humans have lost our way

When science become a religion that can't be questioned. Way to go linguistics pumpkins

Furthermore, some linguists, including Chomsky himself, argue that even if Pirahã lacked recursion, that would have no implications for Chomskyan linguistics

Absolutely loved watching the video! I never heard of these people til now and I realized I focus wayyyy to much about the future !

Totaly love this as an indigenous earthling

Fantastic documentary....no climate alarmist propaganda - just a story well told.

That wasn't the point of this particular documentary. You can cover issues and not others and still believe the other issues are just as important or interesting. I would say if you don't care for the other issues don't watch them.

Right wingers are so desperate to avoid any aspect of reality that they don't like. Their denial of reality on such a huge scale is sick. Very sick!

How we are supposed to live. Content, no worries, just live in the present. Their beautiful faces dont look old. We in the Western world do. Happiness from within. Thats Gods mercy🎉❤❤❤❤ They have it.🎉

Amazing Dan. Congratulations.

What a wonderful and fascinating documentary. Thank you for sharing

Excellent work. For me, the vital point of the question is summed up in the lapidary phrase -- it should be noted -- said by one of the Pirahã: "God is a foreigner. I don't know Him. I dont want him"

I love that so much! Such pure truth!

AS a NYU film PhD student, I wrote to Chomsky asking if film --maybe a language?--had a single deep structure. One of his graduate students, likely getting me handed off to her, answered something like He does not think much about films. No answer. I looked elsewhere.

Depends what you mean by "language". In all but the MOST abstract of definitions, no of course not. To call movies a language is just stupid. I would not have bothered answering either!

É triste ver assim relações cortadas. Parabéns pelo excelente video. Obrigado.

Fantastic ! always amazing content on *SLICE* , very appreciated and much Thank you !♥👍

Its always been interesting to me that unless you are the smartest man in the world, or at least apart of their social club, then there is no way possible that you can discover anything new.

true and it's very sad to think about because we are always told that to accept/reject something you need to conduct more testing first.

O melhor documentário que já vi sobre a Amazônia.

I wonder if we had today's technology back hundreds of years ago, if the indigenous people of North America would have a lifestyle similar to the Pirahã. It would've been beautiful to be able to capture it.

Hopefully Dan can see them one day,obviously they love him.
