I am honestly not against the natives in this one. Their land has a lot of value, but no one seems to be overpaying for it to construct these telescopes.

I have no “moral principles”, and anyone that does is a fool. I let my intuition lead me to choices and it often does so in ways that may seem contradictory, but never do I feel discomfort with a choice because it is fundamentally MY choice and not something that follows inescapably from some external logical ruleset or axiom I could have adopted, which often causes people to take courses of action which they find unpleasant.

“ Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”

Hawaii-bro here. It's an unfortunate situation. Outside of woke internet people circles, most people in Hawaii think the telescope protestors are picking the wrong issue.

Basically native land interests got fucked over so many times. This turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Most people are sympathetic to the sentiment, but feel they are choosing the wrong hill to die on.

It's also not likely to go away. Telescope protests have reached the point where it's a community level issue. People are protesting it because their friends and neighbors are protesting it. If you talk to the actual protestors, many of them don't have concrete reasons why they think the telescope is bad. It's just a focal point of community rage that has been building up for the last 30 or so years.

It's a shame for a number of reasons. Mauna Kea already has like a dozen telescopes, what difference does one more make. Also Mauna Kea is literally the best place in the world of astronomy. Hawaiian culture has a long history of stargazing for navigation, and the observatories fit nicely into that legacy. It should be something for Hawaii to be proud of.

Mauna Kea is a shield volcano, which means the airflow over the volcano is much more laminar compared to other places in the world. This means the atmospheric distortion at Mauna Kea is significantly less than anywhere else in the world. Combine that with altitude and lower light pollution, Mauna Kea becomes the best place in the world for astronomy.

The concept of ownership is a fictional human construct in the first place. The native Hawaiians don't have any special claim to the land any more so than any other random arbitrary person claiming it.

There are about a hundred "sacred" sites per mile in Hawaii.
What they REALLY want is for the builder of the telescope to "financially" compensate the protesters.
90% of "native" Hawaiians know as much or less about Hawaiian native religions as anyone as /sci/ knows (i.e. NOTHING)

contemporary astronomy is retarded, they still unironically believe in the big bang, which is demonstrably an observational fallacy and they're going to use their gayass zillion dollar quasigrovernment funded telescope to do more gay shit, building those things is a total waste of human effort, the people who use them are all total faggots.

Who benefits from its use? Certainly not the entirety of the US and much less humanity, if the research is then patented as often is the case with private research. This is pretty much tantamount to giving a (private) mining company permission to use those lands. Inhabitants of a city have every right to decide what should and shouldn't be installed in their (rhetorical) lawn, and exerting this right is not detrimental to whatever mythical corpus you call "science".
