Topic	Would you do two weeks of total isolation to never be sick?

So, it would be normal life for most people that arent sick all the time... Or take immunosuppressants or the like... Yeah... and that's fucking fantastic. Sure, if you're in your 20s or 30s right now this probably doesn't sound like a big deal... but it means that in your golden years you won't have to worry about any physical ailments. No Alzheimer's, no arthritis, no cancer, no dementia, no osteoporosis - all the ailments traditionally associated with "getting old" simply wouldn't apply to you. You would live a long life - making it to 150 would not be out of the question - and you would be guaranteed to be healthy for the duration of it. Forget never getting colds or the flu, that alone would be more than worth it. You're trading two weeks of misery for ~50-80 extra years of healthy living. I don't want to live that much longer than anyone I care about. And no one apparently actually dies of old age. So, you are right about living a long time. Technically, you could live to like 200 or 300. But that would be torture. Well, for me. I would literally hate that. So two weeks of literal torture, follow by possibly hundreds of years or figurative torture. No thanks. I don't even plan to live super old, anyway. I'd rather die when it time than watch literally everybody else die. Anyway, like I said, for the normal duration of life, it's still pretty normal. Who I quoted made it sound like you could just do cool stuff because of it. Like if you were invincible or something... sodium-chloride posted... darkknight109 posted... They have done experiments with people where they have done almost this exact thing - stuck people in a room with no clock and no other external clues of time and allowed them to control the lighting to decide when they went to sleep. What they discovered is that people will maintain their sleeping patterns for a few days after the experiment begins then, interestingly, they will naturally shift to a 27 hour rhythm - up for 17-18 hours, asleep for 9-10 (with sleep usually broken up in the middle by an hour or two's wakefulness, which is how our bodies are actually supposed to run and how they did run in the times before artificial light was a thing - the ancient Greeks considered that period to be prime snogging time). link to study? I've actually seen this study. Or one like it. I remember because as I was reading it, it sort of reminded me of the sleep schedule of my BF and I when I was always over his house. We would always wake up in the middle of the night and have sex... Haha. --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
