re: How many days can you go cut off from human interaction?

However, you strike me as a gregarious type of guy. That kind of frequency of interacting with others all the time mentally wears me out maybe in a way that solitude might wear on you?

Oh, I have no doubt it'd wear on me much quicker than it would on you. As I said, I'd start cracking the first day. I just don't think most people can comprehend total isolation. Maybe back 100+ years ago they could, but no longer. What most people think of as isolation really isn't. You have some outside source that someone has provided you to escape from. You may not need to chat with people, but if I took all those outside sources from you, I think everyone would break quickly. The more I think about it, I'd even go so far as to say paintings and pictures would be something that would have to be a part of this deal.
