So how does this work? You set up a hottub party with lots of worldly temptations abounding & see who can meditate & ignore it all the longest?
Is this a paid experiment?

That sounds like a fetter of ignorance!
True pragmatic dharma Arhat will be able to fully observe and even interact with any wordly temptations while noticing arising and passing away of each and every sensations

It’s something Daniel Ingram - half jokingly, half seriously, I guess - suggests to challenge those who claim to be past all human responses such as even getting a boner. He argues it’s just a myth that arhatship or even third path would lead to that. So "the hottie in the hottub experiment" has become a widely spread inside joke.
I laughed at the post beginning this thread. But I also thought that if someone were to really set up this experiment, this would probably be just the right place to look for a control group. Those are supposed to be similar to the experiment group in as many regards as possible apart from the factor you're testing, after all.
