Ever wondered what it would be like to have the world entirely to yourself? This thought experiment explores a fascinating hypothetical: you wake up one day and discover everyone else is gone. We delve into the immediate practicalities – securing food, shelter, and essential resources – a surprisingly complex challenge! Beyond survival, we examine the psychological impact of utter solitude. How would you cope with the silence? Would you attempt to rebuild, or embrace a simpler existence?

This isn't just about post-apocalyptic scenarios. It’s a deep dive into human nature, our reliance on community, and the value of connection. We’ll discuss potential long-term strategies for maintaining sanity, preserving knowledge, and even the possibility of creating art or finding meaning in a world devoid of others.

00:00Would you live as the only person in the world for 10 years if it meant perfect health and 10
00:04million dollars after? You receive a magical offer. If you accept it, everyone in the world
00:08disappears for exactly 10 years. After the 10 years are up, you are transported back to exactly
00:13where you were before, and 10 million dollars is instantly deposited into your bank account.
00:17Here's the rules. You will age normally, but return to your previous age after completing
00:21the 10 years. All injuries or long-term effects disappear once it's over, and no one remembers
00:25you being gone. Things like cars, electricity, and the internet are still usable, but food will
00:29spoil after a while since there's no one preventing that. The world pauses as is when everyone
00:33disappears. You cannot end the challenge early, and are forced to complete the 10 years if you
00:37accept, but if you die during the 10 years, the offer ends and you die in real life.
