o-goid Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The family of Sirycs refused all the benefits of civilization and became downshifters. Now they live in a forest near Zhitomir and enjoy their hermit’s life. 52 year old head of the family Ivan Siryc, his wife Victoriya and their 12 year old son Stepan live in a sun-dried hut, covered with thatch. There are 3 rooms in it (each of them is about 2 square meters). They are joined together with the other room, in the middle of which the stove can be found. The Sirycs happen to be indoors only in winter, in summer they spend all their time in the workshops. During the whole year a hayloft serves as a bed for them. They even made a glass roof above it to see the stars. They say, no one can see such a wonderful view in the city. As for the toilet, they didn’t build it at all. They just have some special place in the forest not far from their hut. To move into such conditions was a joint decision. 8 years ago the Sirycs were successful artists in Moscow. But one day they accidentally heard on the radio the story about the dolmens on the Caucausus and decided to go there. Stepan at that time was 8 months old. Victoriya remembers herself sitting near the brook and holding her son in her arms while Ivan was examining those wonderful places. When he returned they both suddenly realized they wanted to change their life. Now the Sirycs eat only raw food, because they believe the food heated to 40 C immediately becomes dead. So they eat berries, pickled and dried mushrooms. The latter tastes like chips, they say. But you should be careful and not to eat too much of them, because they swell in your stomach and you can feel like you’ve overeaten afterwards. So at first they were vegetarians, now they are raw food eaters but what they really dream about is to become “air eaters”. Such people’s bacteria produce all necessary elements from air and are gradually becoming younger and even able to “grow” new organs. Victoriya, for example, has already grown 2 new teeth. As for their son Stepan, he goes to school once a month. He’s in the 4th grade now. But actually he doesn’t like to go there because other children often tease him because of his long hair. But Stepan can’t cut them off because he believes this is connection with cosmos. His father taught him to draw and make sculptures. Later he’s going to become a sculptor.

yoda Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 gente com cabeça .. cabeça, tronco e membros para conseguir viver com esta independência toda e sobreviver na natureza agreste só conheço os rangers e mesmo estes só o fazem por períodos relativamente curtos. Eu conheço mais gente, em Portugal, sem serem rangers. É uma questão de integridade e lealdade a princípios, o resto com trabalho aprende-se e adapta-se .. Afinal o ser humano sempre se adaptou.

substance44 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Admiro-os, é preciso ter coragem. É uma vida saudável, disso não tenho dúvidas, mas eles parecem-me um bocadinho sub-nutridos, principalmente o miúdo. Cada um é livre de viver a vida como quiser e até acho que a filosofia de vida deles é bastante mais "certa" do que da maioria das pessoas. Devemos viver em contacto com a natureza mas, pessoalmente, acredito mais na evolução da tecnologia para este fim, uma simbiose entre tecnologia e natureza, e não no "retrocesso às origens". ...on the thin line between madness and genius, we fear the things we cannot understand.

Concordo. Porém, são estes casos que contribuem para o despertar geral nesse sentido. É um "sacrifício" em prol de uma causa nobre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

substance44 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Não me parece realista. Acredito em transformações genéticas e que os nossos corpos se adaptam às condições em que vivemos, mas...são precisas várias gerações para acontecer esse tipo de mudança tão radical no nosso sistema. Anyway, deixo aqui um video que está relacionado com esta filosofia de vida, e qualquer outra. ...on the thin line between madness and genius, we fear the things we cannot understand.
