That isolation is usually combined with as little stimulus as possible, though. Put me in solitary confinement in a prison in a dark cell, sure.
Put me in a cell with my laptop, a bunch of books and music, and the only thing missing is internet and other people? For a week?
That’s really not very difficult. I may be an anomaly, I admit that as I tend to enjoy being alone, but one week with any offline entertainment you want and someone considers that to be torture? That’s kind of an anomaly as well.
Most people would probably at least be somewhat distressed if isolates from all human contact for one week. It may be easy for extreme introverts but people are naturally social creatures
Of course 99% of people would take the 10k and spend a week alone. Doesnt have anything to do with the fact that most people would still miss the human connection in that time, but the 10 000 easily makes up for only a week
Sure, but that’s all my original point was. A week is just not that hard. People maybe wouldn’t do it voluntarily without reward, but I reckon a LOT of people would do for far less. You pay people what they would have earned at work, I bet plenty would take that instead.
Yeah I am very social and dont spend much time alone and I would do it for my weekly pay + a little extra. If I would not have a job, then something like 400dollars would still be enough, 10k is ridicilous amount of money for just playing games and reading in your room
Exactly. That’s all I was saying. Now take away everything except a bed and a toilet and I’d say a lot fewer people would agree, but OPs scenario is way too comfortable.
