A study exploring scenarios in which the only person left on Earth could live assessed the chances of survival and living conditions of an isolated individual. Although this scenario is a topic that has been addressed by many scientists and philosophers, the likelihood of encountering such a situation in practice is quite low. However, this study on the challenges that humans can face and what they can do in a solitary scenario showed that humans are naturally social beings and it is difficult for them to survive without interacting with other people. The research looked at how an isolated individual can meet their basic needs, maintain physical and mental health, psychological effects and long-term survival strategies. This scenario once again emphasizes the importance of human social bonds and solidarity and delves deeper into the isolated individual’s struggle for survival.
The research noted that for an isolated individual to survive, their basic needs must be met. In addition to basic needs such as water, food and shelter, it is important for an isolated individual to have access to healthcare. However, scenarios such as emergencies and natural disasters that an isolated individual may face alone were also discussed. In these situations, the isolated person’s self-sufficiency and resilience are vital.
The research emphasized that it is also important to protect the psychological well-being of an isolated individual. Loneliness stands out as one of the biggest challenges an isolated individual can face. Therefore, an isolated individual may need to engage in activities that keep them busy in order to maintain their psychological wellbeing. It may also be an important strategy for an isolated individual to stay motivated by establishing routines in their lives and setting goals for themselves.
This scenario demonstrates once again the importance of the social bonds and solidarity that are inherent in human nature. By supporting each other and working together, people can increase their chances of survival. Providing an isolated individual with access to the resources they need to survive and protecting their psychological wellbeing can help them overcome the challenges they may face in this scenario.
This study takes an in-depth look at an isolated individual’s struggle for survival and emphasizes that humans are inherently social beings. Solidarity and cooperation between people is vital when faced with such scenarios.
