Seems like it was a stupid idea to move them. Why not just leave them there? They survived for 20 years.

That was exactly my reaction when someone posted the article in #Fallout today. Honestly, they've been living just fine without any meddling and now they're being dragged of to the city as human guinea pigs pretty much. Didn't any of these people read Brave New World?
The answer to your first question is shaddup.

Tragic, reminds me of the film "Nell" with Jodie Foster.

Some corrupt fuckheads who want to experiment or need news for their career.
Should have better left them on their own, poor fellas. :(

They really didnt need to move. If you read the follow up article, they explain that the children were possibly handicapped, and they already stated that the move was severely traumatic for them. The move was completely unnecessary, as the man was treating his family well, just not to the "modern" standard. Besides, the children were obviously off to a bad start because of a lack a sacred snake.

I was the one who posted the article in #fallout, silly.

It's kind of sad. The decision seems arbitrary; they're not in anybody's way. There's nothing wrong with people who have a "back to nature" lifestyle, so, frankly, who cares if some people take that to the next level and live as monkeys.

They didn't even live as monkeys. Or if they did, pretty post-apoc monkeys. Corrugated iron walls and stuff. Hardcore.

They should have left them. Any family that can survive in the desert with barely anything are doing pretty well.

Actually, it's immensely satisfying and fun to do rock stacking like that. I don't know why, but it is, trust me. I did this a lot when I was hiking in Death Valley. It seems like the kind of thing that would become very stressful very fast, but it's strangely stress-relieving. I think it has to do with the fact that you have to completely 100% focus on balancing the rocks, and everything else is put out of your mind for a while.

How kubrick.

Strange. These people seem to be the smartest on Earth - they're not following a mainstream of any kind nor are they messing up with other people's business. These are the most perfect human beings and now the rest of the world has began the conversion process! Blasphemy, I say!

Why must they fuck with the lifestyle of these neo-aboriginals? Can't "civilized" society see that they are self-sufficient and that they are quite capable of living the life they already have?

Leave 'em alone instead of fucking with the sense of reality they've known and loved all their life and ultimately alienating them from anything they hold to be true.

Plus, they were propably happier than any of us will ever be. Simple life, simple problems - I doubt they had trouble sleeping at night because thinking about global warming and nuclear winter and shit.

but it is so true. when people used to live simply. families were more together, and also had more simple problems. as technology devloped, more technical and sifisticated problems occured. so simple is the way to go, like that family. but like that one person said, they are going in the converting prosses, blaflamy! whats this conversion? from simple happy folks to uptite worrying about big problems civilians.

Not to mention abandoning the language that is known only by them and learning communication skills all over again while also learning to conform to the strict code of what's acceptable to do and what's not in everyday modern society.
