I read most of the comments and I find it interesting how people kind of gloss over mental health. People commiting suicide over repeating their day over and over or the perceived lack of control over their life is one thing. But imagine settling into the mundanity of forever without change. Some will go legitimately mad. Some people live with pain everyday, but now they will for near eternity. I imagine there will be a large number of people who's first step is to futility off themselves everyday.
Possibly, although from their point of view (and going by GD rules), they would wake, kill themselves and then immediately wake again.
So, after a while of trying that, it might make more sense for them to try and make the days feel as long as possible to delay that waking up moment.
True. Also depends on what's making them off themselves.
I don't think it's "glossing over", it's that actual mental health problems are outside most people's frame of reference so the thought doesn't occur to them. It's less active ignoring, more simply not knowing.
Very good point of view.
Also think about people with locked in syndrome. You can't move, but you are aware and now everything is repeating.
What changes though is only your current external situation not relating to humans is staying the same. Everyone can still continue to grow and go to therapy, learn more about themselves and the world. This is basically almost completely still the real world. Most changes a human notices is the humans around them changing, not the walls of the apartment. Relationships still evolve, breakups happen, new love can be found. Science can still continue, we can use human memory and the internet to collect and analyze data. Instead of amassing physical wealth we might amass knowledge.
