What would happen in this situation? a question about life!?

What would happen if there was way we could sustain a life without any outside influences other than a small bit of speech/ language that has be carefully censored to not indacate much about the outside world.


By other influences i mean emotions, violence, media,social behavior or all the things we learn from each other when we grow and learn.


Than we release the person at age 20 into the world.


What would the know or what would the do?


Would they know about things like love of emotions or how to do human things but have never been told about.


The reason for the speech/language is so they can communicate to people.


i know this would never happen but i was wondering what we already know what to do just as a bird knows how to make a nest, or a rooster to crow.


What do we do to survive that doesn't have to be learnt from other people.

Sadly there was a child that was locked in a closet and strapped to a high chair for about 15 years before police and CPS were able to save her. She is the only example of this and there were lots of studies done on her. This is an experiment that would never be performed with an actual human subject. She had very very little interaction her whole life. Eventually when she was saved specialists taught her to talk and some other general skills but since she wasn't taught anything during the very important young years of her life she is cognatively, emotionally, and socially impaired far more than first thought. I think she is in an institution now.





Things that are instictual for humans are things like eating and protecting oneself from harm we need to be taught how to interact with others and how to love.
Reply:What an intriguing question! I'm not a psychologist, but my gut feeling is an absolutely horrible clash with today's society. Putting it as succinctly as I can, terrible misunderstandings on society's part and for the deprived individual, extreme terror leading, if given a chance, to a totally primitive struggle for survival, not excluding murder, rape, theft. Imagine a half-grown tiger cub being tossed out onto Fifth Avenue. (Thanks for inciting some intriguing mental images!) .............. It does happen to children, in varying degrees, as every few weeks or months, you hear of cases on the news of kids being held captive in attics and cellars. And, these are just the ones we hear of.
