Can science help you survive in the Arctic? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly learn about what happens to the body during starvation and harsh conditions from someone who’s been there with survival doctor, veteran, and contestant on Season 9 of Alone, Dr. Teimojin Tan.
We discover Arctic warfare and what it takes to survive in the wild. What will kill you first in a survival scenario? We rank the things you need to survive and explore the importance of companionship. Teimojin tells us about his experience living alone in the Arctic for 63 days and what methods he used to avoid drop shock. What is the hardest mental aspect of surviving alone?
Learn the stages of what the body goes through during starvation. What is it like to be a doctor and knowing exactly what's happening inside your body as it's happening? We discuss ketosis, the body’s metabolic rate in the Arctic, and what happens when your fat stores deplete. How do you prevent sickness in the wild? How would we deal with isolation and intense environments in space travel?
What are best practices for designing a shelter for extreme cold? We discuss fluid dynamics and how best to retain heat. Can humans survive on drinking their own urine? Learn why that’s not such a good idea in a survival situation. We explore the law of the end of the world, the realities of self-amputation, primitive methods for staving off infection, and even more…

Working at a Max security prison for 13 years, watched as we released Max prisoners that spent years in solitary confinement, with no more than a small amount of money , a bus ticket and some new clothes, and folks wondered why they were back in less than a month. It had to be terrifying to leave your home for years getting meals, some minor counseling, and then sent out to fend for yourself.

9:42 I love to be alone. I don't need a dog or a pet, i'm emotionally content. From my experience, people who like other people are parasitic. And that's the reason they need to be around others (whether it's emotionally or financially). But i believe if you are a leader and self efficient in every way, then you end up not liking people at all. Of course, there are way more followers than leaders, so that explains the favoring statistics on why the masses of people need others.

Buddah says, "If you emerge from the cocoon of selfishness to realize the beauty of being a butterfly of responsibility, remaining caterpillars will tend to shun your enthusiasm." Also, "This is why the path of spirituality is a lonely path. Once awakened, those friends still sleeping tend to disappear."

@kubek Год назад

About that loneliness part. I LOVED that about pandemic that I didn't have to meet other people. My parents and brothers cancelled easter because of pandemic so I didn't have to visit anybody and could stay at home (I live alone, never been in a relationship, never even dated) it was awesome! I wish they'd make a holiday commemorating the pandemic like one day full lockdown. But that won't happen because most people die when they don't have anyone to talk to.

@cali4niasf Год назад

Some people are comfortable being loners. People are never truly alone ..because as humans -we have the brain capacity to remember , analyze , store precise memories and perspective ... and most importantly- question and behold our existence. We're all living cinemas and viewers - with an endless amount of reels and high tech recording equipment.

I remember being far from my family for a little over a year. I would be so fine to be alone starting on a Friday night and going back to work on a Monday morning. My jaw would hurt when I had to talk my first words.

Also pondering on what could be; possibilities. I like problem solving, so having something to occupy my brain helps stave off loneliness. And pondering beyond one’s weight: trying to understand gravity, space-time, quantum etc. I won’t get there, but I’ll have fun trying.

@ivanobar1 10 месяцев назад

In the throes of the pandemic I didn’t talk to as anyone for approx 3 wks. When I first talked my voice was hoarse, I had a hard time speaking. Seems that singing, grunting or talking to one’s self is not a bad idea.

@bigdre6565 Год назад

It’s a difference in choosing to be alone rather than forced to be alone . I can choose all day to stay to self but if something catastrophic happens and I see I’m a lone survivor that may mess with me a bit .

I am ADHD AF, however when I was in Iraq, it felt like in a way, my ADHD was mitigated. I am someone who relied on meds before the army, didn't take them while I was in, and I am them now again. What that being said, I agree with Dr T, that after a while one becomes in tune with one's environment: the sounds of the environment (and when certain sounds are absent) , the pitches of a particular kind of weapon when it is fired, how far, etc. When I told my psychiatrist this he told me and I think it's funny: "The fear of death has a way of keeping one focused. "

@baarbacoa 11 месяцев назад

There's a hypothesis that ADHD is a survival adaption. Distractability in our world is an ability to pick up threats in your surroundings in a hostile setting.

@TonyM1961 10 месяцев назад

I agree most people are. People like me are not. Idiots, “Karen’s”, bad drivers, people with kids who don’t know how to parent, people who think they are better than everyone are just a short list of reasons why I would rather be alone. Parties, social gatherings, restaurants, inviting people over, “hanging out” with “friends” are completely overrated concepts. We do not need other people in our lives but we are trained from a young age to do so and therefore in school and adult life we are pressured to do this and look like that and make this amount of money, have these things, and blah blah blah. Once you tune it out and only rely on yourself, your whole perspective changes.

Although living a life of hermitage with minimal intervention and a community of similar minded individuals with different artistic, philosophical, scientific ambitions would be heaven on earth

@ryanearl6118 Год назад

As far as the "being alone" goes, i just could not stop thinking no matter how introverted..or simply enjoy time alone of a person you are, you just would go crazy without companionship. It might not be bad for the first couple days or even week(s) but after fighting the harsh elements by yourself, something might happen inside that makes you either want help, love, or to show off your prowess of what you could do on your own. However. I did just say this while listening to fastinating people on my mobile divice comfy in my home.... ao idk

"Last man on Earth movies" You forgot a classic one: _War of the Worlds._ The reporter reported that the invading ET"s had killed all the people, and he made it his purpose to continue to broadcast remotely as he traveled fruitlessly to find people. He came across one crazed man who was convinced it was the end of the world. The reporter left him to his torment and continued his quest. I can't remember if the reporter found anyone else, but it speaks to the mental response to a person's world is turned upside down. This includes the need for a purpose like you mentioned, and a need for companionship. (But not that crazed, tormented man. He would have been a mental vampire.)
