You could also think of it this way...
Life isn't worth living. Nothing you do makes any difference. Any move you make will only be exploited by other people to profit themselves at the expense of you. There is no meaningful work or activity to be done.
So then throw the person into icy water. See how long it takes them to (voluntarily choose to) activity schedule their way out of the ice bath. Or their depression. Or whatever you want to call it.
There is a physiological mechanism there, for sure. That could be used to 1) Help people in the face of a genuine need to re-set or 2) enable corrupt politicians etc etc to continue to profit themselves at the expense of you.
Which one do you think the government will fund?
Oh... But you have access to a private sector. Really? One that doesnt' subsist on government contracts?
I guess you don't live in New Zealand then.
