A Harvard psychiatrist studied 15 prisoners kept alone in their cells for weeks or months at a time. 14 developed the same mental breakdown: hallucinations, paranoia, panic, brain fog they couldn't shake.

Stuart Grassian published this in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 1983 and called it SHU Syndrome, after the Special Housing Units prisons use for isolation. When prisoners left solitary, most of those symptoms faded. The cell was doing it to them.

Brain scans show the damage too. In 2019, researchers at Charité Berlin and the University of Pennsylvania scanned the brains of nine people before and after a 14-month stay at a remote Antarctic research station. The hippocampus shrank by 7 percent on average. That part of your brain handles memory and how you find your way around. The prefrontal cortex (planning, self-control) also lost volume. And BDNF, a protein that helps brain cells grow and form new connections, dropped sharply and still hadn't recovered six weeks after the team came home. Same biology, just from being cut off from the world.

The UN's torture investigator Juan Méndez ruled in 2011 that solitary confinement beyond 15 days counts as torture, because the brain damage past that point can be permanent. The UN General Assembly made it official policy in 2015 and called it the Nelson Mandela Rules.

A 2020 review in The Lancet Psychiatry pulled together 77 studies covering 35,351 prison suicides across 27 countries. People serving life sentences were 2.4 times more likely to take their own life than other prisoners. Prisoners in single cells were 6.8 times more likely. In California in 2004, isolation units held less than 10 percent of the state's prison population but accounted for 73 percent of all prison suicides. On American death row, the suicide rate runs roughly nine times the general public's. And around 1 in 10 people executed in the US since 1976 asked the state to drop their appeals and kill them faster.

[SAL @MrrDistribution]

Napoleon said the best use of your time is to to find what your destiny is and spend every fucking minute chasing it

A man with the highest appetite for risk because he simply didn’t see any other way to live

Make your name for yourself. Become the version you promised yourself to be

Or stay bring a pussy and die in silence while your name drifts into obscurity

One of the best things my brother said to me this year was that people usually have a real reason for everything they do. That thought genuinely changed how I see people, and myself.

The human brain is powerful, but it was built for survival, not success. It chooses comfort over stress by default. Even though we all have the ability to think long term, plan, and push through discomfort, most of the time we do not use that part of the brain properly.

We see successful people and we know what they did to get there. The problem is not understanding the steps or read their books. The problem is being willing to go through the same discomfort every day without stopping. Our brains are not used to that level of consistency, so they push back.

Take something simple. If you spent three hours a day learning a skill instead of watching films or scrolling, this time next year you would be good enough to make money from it. That is not a theory. It is basic repetition.

We all have access to information now. AI, books, videos, courses. Information is not the issue. The issue is that learning and applying it feels uncomfortable, boring, and slow. So we avoid it and tell ourselves stories instead.

Since that realisation, I stopped waiting until I feel like doing things. When my brain hesitates or tries to delay, I act immediately. I do not argue with it anymore. I just do the work.
