Christian homeschoolers from Buck’s thought experiment don’t just live the old lives, they also don’t even know that the Biblical mythology is filled with errors. I understand why the opt-out button is necessary (e.g. due to nostalgia-related drives or actual benefits attained by living in religious communities), but the kids are unlikely not to have the right to learn the ground truth obscured by myths.
Unlike Buck’s thought experiment, indigenous peoples have never been a part of the Euro-American[1] civilisation and there was no misaligned leader to rob them of the ground truth.

Or any other civilisation.
