One idea that seems like it would be extremely painful would be to force someone to stay outside in the nude when it is extremely cold, but bring them inside before they freeze to death and drop them in boiling hot water. I remember hearing that the Nazis employed this technique during the Holocaust, but I'm not sure whether that's true or not.

I know there have been a lot of stories about the infamous experiements of SS doctor Josef Mengele. He indulged in a whole array of grotesque experiments which had absolutely no scientific value whatsoever. His favourite subject for experiments were twins.

He literally boiled Jews to see how long they could survive for, as well as freezing and quite possibly combining the two. I read that he sewed two twins together to see how long they could survive for without any anaesthetic.

But yeah, if you're looking for Nazi 'science' (read: excrutiating, sadistic torture) then Mengele is your man.

Paralysis. Not merely of the physical kind, mind you - rather, of the mind.

Imagine, if you will, a person who is fully conscious enough to experience happiness just as much as sorrow, elation just as much as regret, joy just as much as fear, love just as much as hate.
He is aware enough to realize his accomplishments and his mistakes; independent enough to carry out his own life on his own terms and face the same risks that we all do by virtue of such independence. Yet, he is paralyzed by self-doubt, which is an immobilization caused the by the restrictive weight of self-defeating junk, which has been solidified by the careless accumulation of irrationalities, irrealism and arbitrariness abound in various forms today.

His immobilization restricts him from achieving ambitious goals of prosperity, happiness and security, and instead drowns in a sea of laziness, implicit fear of his very own greatness and reckless self-indulgent in the name of evasion - evasions of reality, however diaphanous or ephemeral. A fugitive of reason, he even submits to the gradually concretized notion that such a path he takes can be attributed with a noble quality - noble because he dare not step on others, dare not indulge in a twisted view of selfishness, and dare not shine in utmost brilliance, in a world of such darkness - oh forbid that he should ever disturb the darkness and shed light upon the world, for why should he deserve such greatness, he asks himself. Implicit in such a line of thinking is that someone else has more of a right to be so bold, so daring, so content with themselves that they actually live for themselves and carry out their ambitions, live out their dreams of opulence and romance.

Yet, somewhere deep in the back of his mind - like a splinter in his mind, there remains a shred of rationale that be buried under immense mountains of repression, but never cease to exist - for as long as he possesses a faculty of reason, as long as he lives in a world that remains sparsely populated by the self-realized and unimmobilized adults, he remains subject to his own torturous reason, a victim of his own intelligence, a fugitive of his own greatness. He must constantly live with sharp pangs of realizations of the prison he has created for himself, built with bars of irrational fear that immobilize him from productive achievement and self-cherisment. Only to deepen such implicit sadness as the years pass him by, he retreats within himself, regressing into senility and cynicalness.

As he reflects upon his years in old age, he gains but a pearl of insight, with only a value worthy to the young surrounded amongst him, yet with only a painful reminder to himself, of the greater life that he could've had but never achieved, all because he never let go of the very solidified weight of self-doubt, and committed not only intellectual suicide, but suicide of passion - passion for the love of life and all it has to offer, and the intellectual freedom to capture such fruits of life.

If you put a human being in total isolation, in total darkness and just let them sit there with no human contact, the mind just breaks.

An extremely disciplined, focused mind wouldn't.

I've looked into this and it appears to be a character in a movie who was innocent of charges but spent time in solitary confinement regardless.

Elaborate further on your point.


Peace.
