Shouldn’t everyone feel morally responsible for receiving the maximum reward so that they can personally distribute those funds amongst as many people as possible? The other guy is fine with just 3m, so one year of your life apparently could provide 9999 other people with a life of never having to work again.
That is why I said (for personally owning all the money). If someone is selfless enough to spend one year in an insane room so they can give away the money to others, kudos to that person.
Where is the money coming from? It would be just redistributing money to give it to some lucky people. Instead we could fight against inequality and skip a year of misery.

I wonder if they’d still want to do it after the year of isolation.
I’d probably want to use the money to buy the political influence to end solitary confinement. And also ending private prisons while we’re at it.
Is it fair or just to expect one person to suffer for the benefit of others?
According to God, yes, it’s fair and makes a whole lot of sense actually.
