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.

      A million dollars will buy you the best anti psychotic drugs you can buy ( and the legal ones will be less)

        I’m not sure you know how much a million dollars actually is or how effective drugs are on your mental well-being. They’re not magic, it’s still probably going to be years of problems and while a million dollars is enough to make you live very comfortably, it’s not enough to actually make you rich rich.

        I personally don’t think you can put a price on your health, mental or physical, and being immobile for 48 hours in a wooden box is going to be very hard on your physical health as well.
