Maybe I have the wrong idea of what it was like for this guy, but I doubt his brain was 100% lucid. I have to imagine it as being a much more dreamlike / hazy state. | ||

I have to imagine it as being a much more dreamlike / hazy state. + Show Spoiler + Although he could hear every word his doctors spoke, he could not communicate with them. "I screamed, but there was nothing to hear," he said, via his keyboard. I imagine at first he was pretty much awake, but later, after a few days or weeks, his mind might have drifted into a more hazy state. Still, however, i imagine whenever someone came to change him or whatever he would wake back up. | ||

I dont see how you could read that article and then say something like this. The guy was clearly lucid. "I'll never forget the day that they discovered me, it was my second birth." He was perfectly conscious the whole time. It also says earlier in the article that is brain was functioning "almost normally". | ||

How you reached this determination that he is in a 'hazy state' is beyond me (pure speculation imo) but even so...23 years is a very long time. Do you think solitary confinement for 23 years is not that bad? I think the case presented here is arguably a lot worse. | ||

Are you saying that it wouldn't be extremely confusing and disorienting? | ||

Do you think solitary confinement for 23 years is not that bad? I think the case presented here is arguably a lot worse. yes it was clearly speculation. isn't all of this? have any of us been in his situation before? I reached it based on a period of time when i stayed in bed (mostly with my eyes closed) for about 48 hours. It didn't take long before i was in a super hazy state, disoriented, and didn't know when it was or wtf was going on, and wasn't sure about the order of events that had occured to me in the last 48 hours. I have to imagine that without sight, and communication with others, yes things would become very hazy and dreamlike. And I think solitary confinement for 23 years would likely be worse than this. The more solidly the ego is formed, the easier it is to freak out and feel bad. If you're just floating along in your own mind most of the time, I doubt it is as bad as having to be fully awake and sitting there for an equal amount of time. and for when someone asks, the reason i stayed in bed that long was that i was super depressed | ||
