No mention of him cooking the meat while with the wolves...

So many interesting insights and ideas in this article.
- If he was truly brought up by wolves, I have to wonder if the legend of Romus and Remulus is true.
- Why are wolves so kind?
- "'I only wrapped my feet up when they hurt because of the snow. I had such big calluses on my feet that kicking a rock was like kicking a ball" -> evidence that it is normal and natural for humans to be barefooted
- "He claimed to have been cheated and abused, exploited by bosses in the hospitality and construction industries, and left with nothing" -> that's human society for ya
- He has lived to old age and has gained much wisdom. His main regret is not going back to living with the wolves, which is noteworthy.
- The mother wolf threw him pieces of meat and he says that he took it and ate it - not cooked it and then ate it. So he indeed ate his meat raw.
- "Mr Pantoja said he also had a snake for company who followed him around because he fed her goat's milk" -> This is so outside of my reality. I'm not sure what to make of it. A tamed snake? A snake that drinks milk?
- "He was confined to a wheelchair for a time after the thick callouses were cut off his feet and his first visit to a barber had him terrified the razor would cut his throat" -> welcome to human society
- "He fought with the nuns about sleeping in a bed and when he rented his own room he at first slept on the floor on a pile of magazines and blankets." -> sleeping on a hard surface has been documented by science to be healthier. Again, some additional instances where society forces its norms on him.
Overall, fascinating story. Would love to have a chat with this guy.

Well,the official version is that the romulus/remus myth is just that. That, instead of a "lupus"/wolf, it was a "lupa"/prostitute that spawned the twins. So, the Romans, a rather puritannical people except for the usually debauched rulers/nobility, are claimed to have changed the word so as to become respectable. However, there are so many reports of feral children, some authenticated beyond doubt, and it's a big theme in folk stories:-

If the man says he was adopted by wolves, he was adopted by wolves.
Pretty cool story.
Maybe there is a video, or a book.
Life with humans isn't so bad... he gets to have human reproductive sex and make human babies I suppose... humans are not meant to be continuously happy.
-
The point is, GS, is that he was much happier living a more rawpalaeo-style way of life. Anyway, our future seems to be an idiocracy-style homo-erectus-like lifestyle.
-
He claims he can connect the most with children, the human beings that haven't been poisoned by a bad diet and unhealthy lifestyle yet. Children are more likely to be natural, that's why he prefers them.

Likewise European culture and traditions also highlight the purity of children in many of our pre chrsitian pagan stories/holidays.
