Utopia Prison - A Thought Experiment

[Krasny-Volny]

I’m OK with wearing a uniform and working a tightly regimented schedule - heck, that sounds a lot like my last line of work - but I draw the line at having my personal time being meddled with. I don’t cotton to anybody telling me what to do with what I do on my own time - that includes leaving the compound as I please and fraternizing with whoever I want off work, provided she ain’t my boss. I like having a social life outside of, and away from, work and it sounds like this is impossible.

This is no different than being on the space station or working in Antarctica in many ways. It can be done for short amounts of time of a persons own free will but is not conducive to family life or structure. In almost all these situations all of the people are in extremely structured environments with life and death constraints. A trip to mars or several months in a deep undersea base would be exactly like this. In most situations like this, there are no children around and it is impossible to have families. It is usually just men in rigid hierarchies like the inside of a submarine or a secret nuclear missile base. It is only very recently that they have brought women on the space station for extended stays. There is usually no privacy and everyone is monitored to make sure they are stable at all times. People get rotated in and out for short periods of time because of the huge stresses involved. Without an almost absolute level of control like on a mars base, people could end up dead very easily if someone left the airlock open or ate too much or did a lot of things which we take for granted. There are some examples of this in nuclear submarines where someone left the hatch open. There is simply no compromise.

This is what happened to an Indian nuclear submarine where they made a mistake with the hatch.

It would be very much like life in the early polar expeditions as well. There is no room for error and if you act out in the wrong way people die. Every minute of your life becomes structured and planned. This only works if you agree to it and are completely dedicated or highly trained.

Until 1935 no woman had set foot in Antarctica. You could not have an official accepted relationship in that time period.

I'd just deny the offer and then show up to the compound with a entire tank battalion and attack it.

If this was some organization like the you know,SCP Foundation offering this,I would accept instantly.

[VVerkia]

So, do you accept the offer to live in this compound?

No

The question I have is as follows:

Is this place run by David Hasselhoff?

It seems a gravedig brought this back. I'm quite interested to resume this discussion if others are.

Oh jeezus we be doomed.

and if you do, after this gets locked, make the authoritarian side less repressive. model the PRC, all the positives you suggested but much less repressive, where you have choices but are watched and, society does reward based on social credit. So the pressures to conform are more subtle but equally prevalent.

I didnt realize it's a grave dig, but it is an interesting topic.


Anyway my 2 cents.
