So clever!
It amazes me that they wrote fan fiction already 200 years ago :-D (And I just realized Y2K was over 20 years ago... and now I'm shocked:-D)
Less cruelty against animals and mindless killing, but just as much racism.
The solution was very clever, though I find it unrealistic, that a handful of white men would have survived some 10 years in the Antarctic, whereas a native tribe of hundreds of people would not. But I suppose that's the spirit of Rousseau. “If I was to raise a child, I'd choose a Frenchman, because we have the best chance of surviving any circumstances. An African wouldn't survive cold, and an Eskimo wouldn't survive heat, but we Frenchmen, we'd survive anything!” (If I remember correctly, he could have raised several kids, that he produced with several French women and then just “forgot”. I suppose it was easier to write a book about how to raise a perfect Frenchman, and not tackle with the embarrassment of one's genes being not so good... :-D)
