CONTEXT
Greetings, boyos
We all know that humans always strive to connect. Human nature is a community based nature however as time passes and innovation happens, the people at the top stay intelligent and the victims of the winners in the world stay mediocre. The mediocre form groups together just to stay mediocre.
Trying to survive in this world as someone who doesn’t feed into normie bullshit is like hell for your Nervous system. Fake people left and right, and you might be asking yourself should i isolate or should i keep on being overly social..
Key point: modern people will always try to become mediocre. Humans are influenced easily. Therefore you’ll be influenced into mediocrity
The intellects of the world spent their time in great isolation. E.g Isaac newton spending long periods of time locked up in his room, and even Descartes during the creation of the cogito. Do you think that these individuals would have been who they were without isolation? I don’t think so.
THE MECHANISM
in modern day social environments,
the brain is continuously monitoring:
Alone time removes much of the input, so the result is:
THE ACTIVATION OF THE DMN (default mode network)
When demands decreases externally, the brain will shift into DMN, which implies:
The benefits of this is DEEPER SELF UNDERSTANDING, EMOTIONAL PROCESSING, and IMPROVED LONG RANGE PLANNING.
EMOTIONAL PROCESSING AND INTEGRATION
When in moments of constant social stimulation, emotions are often suppressed or even postponed.
Isolation makes space for processing those emotions.
The brain can:
MY PERSONAL ANECDOTES
Man always seek truth, to properly seek truth you need to properly think and to properly isolate.
Isolation for me feels like pure euphoria. There’s no shitty low iq person disturbing me from reaching my goals. During periods of isolation i had more time to focus on my studies which in turn improved my grades and intelligence.

THE MECHANISM
in modern day social environments,
the brain is continuously monitoring:
- facial expressions
- Social expectations
- Judgment
- Language
- Noise
- Movement/body language
Alone time removes much of the input, so the result is:
- lower sympathetic nervous system activity or fight or flight response
- An increase of parasympathetic activity or rest or digest mode
- Slower breathing
- Less muscle tension
- Lower cortisol and adrenaline (insert Goatis picture)
- calmness
- Emotional stability
- Physical relaxation
- Mental quiet
THE ACTIVATION OF THE DMN (default mode network)
When demands decreases externally, the brain will shift into DMN, which implies:
- imagination
- Creativity
- Autobiographical thinking
- Future planning
The benefits of this is DEEPER SELF UNDERSTANDING, EMOTIONAL PROCESSING, and IMPROVED LONG RANGE PLANNING.
EMOTIONAL PROCESSING AND INTEGRATION
When in moments of constant social stimulation, emotions are often suppressed or even postponed.
Isolation makes space for processing those emotions.
The brain can:
- process unresolved feelings
- Organize memories
- Refuse emotional overload
- improves emotional intelligence
- Stress tolerance
- Self awareness
