In the great Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy the worst torture device imaginable is a machine which hooks up to your mind and gives you a perfectly clear picture of your significance in the universe. Everyone who experiences it is so shocked by their utter insignificance that they immediately go insane.
I think that's probably pretty close to reality (at least, the insignificance of our lives, not the existence of such a machine).
