I always wondered if they used a black dude for this scene so that they wouldn't have to show a lot of ageing

depends on the capability of the craft. If there's a digital library and scientific monitoring equipment, he could potentially keep himself busy for a decent while. Also I don't remember how far away they were from Earth, but he could potentially communicate with them at that timescale.

if you are deeply religious, then yes
>inb4 some fag says religious people are not mentally stable

>>12143062
Believing in something like a madman can unironically make you more stable.

>>12142985
Ive spent a few months in partial isolation due to quarantine and already losing my shit.

>>12143071
Because you're weak.

>>12142985
Yes, why would it be otherwise?

No.

Humans are social creatures.

Even hikkis, neets, solitary confined prisoners, and other misfits have some regular human interactions.

Matt Damon went crazy from the isolation. Even though he spent most of it asleep.

Counter-question; do you think that watching Interstellar repeatedly for 23 years in total isolation and remaining mentally stable is possible ?

>>12143062
If they were mentally stable they wouldn't need to believe in some caring higher being.

Ironically you are already coping.

Is it possible to spend 23 years not in total isolation and remain mentally stable?

Yes

>>12142985
I've spent the last 15 years since school mostly isolated and my buddies Pikachu and Batman say I'm doing okay.

In the end it all comes down at how much porn do you have.

>>12142985
If he was not a coomer before he might as well be after the 23 years waiting.
He must have raided the underwear drawer of every other astronauts male or female and turned them into a crusty mess.
Don't get me started on how he must have been an expert of those rare porn movies they've smuggled in.

Send NEETs to space with a few petabytes of porn, videogames, and anime. They'll be fine.

Mission accomplished.

Yes I’m on year 32 I spend 16 hours a day in front of my computer reading harthshorne

Autism. yEs:)))

Hopefully he at least had a chatbot to talk to.

Not possible for a nigger. For others, probably yes.

Don't you think this is a little different? He wasn't necessarily isolated: Every so often he would have an airplane land in his yard to drop off supplies. for example. Also, I think living (mostly alone) in the vast Alaskan wilderness alongside the multitudes of animals as a photographer would be extremely beneficial to one's spiritual needs and may actually block any feelings of isolation.
Let's not forget, this guy was kept busy all the damn time. He built that cabin with hand tools. He had no time for mulling over thoughts like isolation, which probably aided his mental/emotional health. literally just dont think about it bro!

>>12148338
you are literally posting on a social platform, that's not a total isolation

He had a robot mate to talk to though, he didn't have 0 social contact.

I'm pretty sure there are hermits of all kinds living secluded lives out of pure zeal.

>>12142985
I'd say most on 4ch probably can.
I have been in 9 months WFH with zero problems, though several of my colleagues want more socialising.

He specified mentally stable though.
