Lmao, this is nothing like solitary. Solitary doesn't have anything in the room and is literally designed to make you go insane. It's a form of torture that can fuck you up for life to the point where it's considered cruel and unusual punishment in some places.
In comparison, you could play basketball all day in here and literally have a vacation. Sounds like I'm nitpicking but I get a little miffed when people underplay how fucked up real solitary is.
You misunderestimate just how many people out there absolutely have to blab to others all day. If they don't have it, even for a little while, they feel dead inside. It's a real need. Remember during lockdown how many of them were crying that because they couldn't go in to the office they had been deprived of their human rights?
Honestly, I don't think we teach people enough about how to handle being alone or how to handle unexpectedly not having a routine. It's important that we as a society are prepared for these kinds of things and that those who have these issues to be cared for.

I'm sure there are a few extroverts who would end up hanging themselves from the basketball hoop if they had to spend more than a few hours on here.
But I think you're under-counting hermits, misanthropes, and the clinically depressed - people who would be, at the least, no worse off than they are now and possibly even genuinely happy to just kinda piss away a month in a room fucking around.
I mean, consider that this is far more luxurious than what any astronaut could ask for, and people can spend six-months to a year on the ISS.

I dunno. This is basically solitary confinement. People generally don't deal well with it.

Someone downthread explained that the idea is that the guy is going to take away one thing a day, so it's basically a slow-onset solitary.
Also, supposedly you're allowed to read books in solitary, but we all know how the prison plays fast and loose with those rules.
