Why did he say that? Doesn't loneliness cause depression, existential crisis, and thus brain damage?

If you are smart enough you can understand what what the universe is telling you and you are never alone because the intelligence of nature is in all things. Only dumb people are limited to communicating with other humans.

Loneliness does. Being alone may not. There's a difference between "being alone" and "being lonely", researchers like John Cacioppo (who was very prolific in his life) outlined that quite thoroughly if I recall. Been a minute since I did any papers on that.

Anyhow, hence the saying there's nothing worse than being alone in a crowd. Feeling rejected tends to be a primary part of loneliness.

Yeah, it's more of a changing the environment.
If you spend most of your time in the warm place and the mind is stuck, try going somewhere cold to stimulate your thinking process.
Plus solitude helps consolidate the experiences you had.

it doesn't if you're not a social media addict, but if you're so addicted to attention and dopamine that you chimp out without them then it does. people with self confidence don't require affirmation from others to be content, but cringing cowards do

The general population is the people that shape most of society. Even lions get shooed away by hyenas if there's enough of them.
Unless you're truly intellectually not just a one-man army, but also a one man health, trade, economics and other ministries combining in a one-man nation, then go ahead.
I prefer to not look down on people because they like to spend time with each other even if I prefer to be a lone from time to time and get exhausted talking to too many people.

a genius is always alone because they don't get along with other geniuses. geniuses get pet dogs.

When you are around people you put on a front, a mask, a fake, to uphold people's expectations.

Remove the people...find the real you.

>People fan literally be driven to suicide as they start to face the reality they have lived a lie their whole life.

THIS IS SERIOUS. DONT FUCK AROUND WITH THIS UNLESS YOU TRULY WANT TO KNOW.

Being alone is better then being around idiots. Most smart people are still within a range where they can find similar people in University or through some hobby. But in the case of Tesla that would have been impossible maybe today with the internet and university.

For normalcattle, "seclusion" is indeed synonymous with loneliness and all of that, but normalcattle is incapable of independent thought to begin with. I don't think Tesla's advice was for your ilk.
