You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?
Edit: No food and water, no diaper, and no contact with the outside world. Once buried, they leave for 48hr and come back to dig you up. The coffin is only wide enough for you to lay on your back (no rolling around), and the inside is wood and not particularly comfortable. The only items you’re allowed to bring with you are life sustaining medication (e.g. an asthma inhaler). No knocking yourself out with pills or anxiety meds. The money is a briefcase full of cash.
I mean you lived through it. I can’t afford to get this weird patch of skin on my arm or the bump above my knee checked out, so I might legitimately not live through severe not having money
Risk analysis is different. I was dehydrated thanks to less than 24 hours without hydration and my body was fucked. I’m pretty sure forty eight would kill me. You are pretty sure that shit on your body ain’t right and that you can’t afford to get it checked out, much less treated. You’re risking your life if you do or if you don’t, so might as well go for the money. That said, if it’s serious, a million bucks might not be enough in this glorious healthcare system we’ve got.
