You mentioned to an anon that you've read some studies talking about special forces undergoing training to resist torture. What sort of training would that entail?
In the study I’m referring to the men were put through afake capture scenario. They were exercised to exhaustion before being locked up,restrained, deprived of sleep and put on reduced diets for 48 hours. The ‘highstress’ group then went through an ‘interrogation’ where they were shouted atand physically manhandled in ways the US forces allow. Slaps and being grabbedby the collar and shaken mainly.
The study itself was concerned with memory. Most of thepeople in the ‘high stress’ group couldn’t identify their interrogator the nextday. In fact most of them pointed to the wrong person and insisted that *that*was the interrogator. The figures for incorrect identification were, dependingon the way they were asked to pick the interrogator, between 51 and 68%
If you’re interested in an in-depth discussion of this andother studies ‘Why Torture Doesn’t Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation’ byShane O’Mara is a good and reasonably accessible book to start with.

trying to read lyrical ballads for my romanticism module and now the only thing in my head is the lakes by taylor swift on repeat
the guy grading my essay really marked me down for “not using Harvard referencing correctly” when I was using MLA??? bro wtf???
late 20th century feminist texts really just be like *graphic pornography, but a woman wrote it*
Reaching that “I really don’t care anymore I just need to hit the word count” mood when writing an essay is actually a transcendent experience because of the truly WILD bullshit a brain can come up with when it has lost all the shits it’s supposed to give
Why must an academic essay have critical sources? Is it not enough for me to go off about the classical depiction of women as victims in war due to the patriarchal lens for 2,000 words because im just that salty??
