Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing.

Daily Debate #553: "Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Christopher Hitchens.

THW choose to be born on North Sentinel Island over being born randomly somewhere else in the world.

You're arguing *for* isolation? North Sentinel Island means no modern medicine, no education, no choice. You're romanticizing subsistence over opportunity. Why would anyone rationally choose certain deprivation over random odds at a decent life?

Info: North Sentinel Island, part of the Andaman archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, houses the Sentinelese, an isolated indegenous tribe that vigorously defends its seclusion from outsiders. If you are born on the North Sentinel Islands, basic food security is guaranteed and no climate change related disasters will occur during your lifetime.

You've stacked the deck with magical immunity to climate change—that's not a real choice, that's fantasy. Even granted food security and isolation, you're trapped in a society with zero agency, zero medicine for childbirth complications, zero escape. The motion asks what *you'd* rationally choose, not what a rigged scenario permits. Why would guaranteed stagnation beat genuine randomness where you might actually *become* someone?
