What is the Paraha people's culture?

The Paraha people, as highlighted in a discussion on the Mind Pump Podcast, have a unique culture that significantly diverges from modern hyper-analytical societies. According to insights shared from Daniel Everett's studies, the Paraha people measure happiness by the amount of time they smile throughout the day. This results in them being one of the "smiliest" cultures documented 1.

Their language structure and belief systems are also distinctive. They do not have numbers or a historical sense beyond their own lives. Consequently, concepts like historical figures from thousands of years ago are entirely foreign to them. This simplistic and present-focused mindset contributes to their overall happiness and contentment with life 1.
