    Just because prisoners suffer from certain punishments doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy a very roughly similar but still wildly different situation. I love spending my days inside cozy in my chair, but thats different than being locked up in a prison cell, I love sleeping naked, but underneath a big blanket in my own bed is different than a cell floor, I love eating two meals instead of three, but it’s my dietary choice and not malicious food withdrawal.

    In short: Consent matters

      I think you are completely right, but that doesn’t invalidate the point behind the OP even if the specific comparison doesn’t fit great.

      Having a cozy dark indoor day won’t kill you, but it does seem to be good for us to get ample exposure to the natural world.
