That isn't even remotely similar to "sharing knowledge". You are talking about somebody forcing their ideas on another culture. Doesn't even relate. That would be actual contamination, versus someone just sharing their truths.

Ah, privilege.......that's your answer for everything isn't it?

Where did I demand I had a "right" to the knowledge? All I said was that nobody owns truth, and even if somebody thought they did, it will eventually come out anyway, because there is never going to be a circumstance where people unanimously agree to keep something totally secret. Somebody will always "spill the beans". It's human nature. So it ultimately does no good to tell people not to share just because somebody else doesn't like it.
1) You're not understanding the actual issue here... did you read the detailed information in the excerpt?
2) Is something wrong with your keyboard? Are keys stuck? It's just 'S.M.C'...
3) Re privilege - not for everything... but in 3D Earth - a great deal...
4) Are you angry? (Imagine how angry Indigenous people are.)
5) Is B4 a community for teach/learning? Or do you view yourself as already fully wise?
6) S.M.C was hurt and felt misunderstood when own privilege was first pointed out. It was a hard learning. It was a good learning.
7) Your words came over as demanding. Re-read them.
8) You could be far harder/fiercer taught than this is doing.
Consider softening. That would be radical.
