  Are we talking about someone from Silicon Valley or an Alaskan bushman? The Alaskan could do it.

    But without another person to share information with (genetic or cultural), he's a dead end.

      And? The mental exercise was if a human could last a significant time away from the aid of other humans. Not if one human can continue humanity.

  With food and water, pretty long I'd say. Whether they'd stay sane is a different matter.
  • corodra 7y ago
    Meh, we're still losing sanity even when around other people. Sanity is relative.

      You should see a psychologist if you feel like that.

        So, are you unaware of the mental health crisis that's been popping up in 1st world countries in the past, oh, I don't know, 10-20 years?
        • zumicts 7y ago
          I am, that's why I'm suggesting you seek professional help.
