    Unfriendly reminder, and absolutely unfun fact, that torture’s entire point is to break a person’s will so they’ll say and do anything the torturer wants. So, if you can withstand days or just a few seconds is completely irrelevant. Even if you give up right away before the torture even starts, you’d be tortured anyways, because it’s not about the cognitive and rational surrender, it’s about the visceral subconscious surrender of agency to another’s will. Disregarding all rationality.
