> We have lived here and cared for this mountain before there was a Colombia.

So the authors of this “message” are simultaneously trying to claim the spiritual heritage of people who had no connection to the modern world at all, and commenting on the most modern phenomenon in existence.

I do wonder how they would react to a machine learning PhD telling them that he is concerned about their beliefs involving a mountain.

Heritage happens in the past. Modern phenomenon happen in the present. There is no reason someone could not have an ancient heritage and familiarity with modern phenomenon.
