Cargo cults and Celebrity Worship
A cargo cult is when indigenous tribes encounter someone from modern civilization and perceive their technology as a supernatural gift from the gods. After the modern explorers/anthropologists leave, taking their “magical” technology with them the tribes will sometimes attempt to mimic or replicate the technology of the westerners with whatever materials available in the hopes of...
