As my ex wife's shrink said, nobody can make you feel anything.
Your ex-wifes shrink sucked
And that's why torture and psyops don't work and has never been used.
Torture itself doesn't work reliably. The possibility of it might get someone to open up when combined with giving someone the time to just open up or a positive reward. Torture itself is counterproductive as the person is just saying whatever the torturer wants to hear to make the pain stop.
Psyops absolutely work.
Torture isn’t effective for getting information out of people, but if your goal is to psychologically debilitate people, it’s totally effective
So are general everyday workplaces. You don't need to go to a black site in Afghanistan. Just come to my office.
That’s because there are more than a few commonalities between the two. They’re not the same, but horrible lighting, little privacy, contradictory instructions/suddenly changing expectations are frequently used in both
Torture isn't verbal and psyops aren't targeted to one person. Thanks for playing though.
IDK, if I punched someone they would feel that.
You would, but the shrink wasn't remarking in physical but mental impacts just like chatgpt.
So verbally abused children need to just suck it up because their parents can't make them feel anything?
Hey dipshit. Im still curious about your opinion of verbally abused children and how they are under no distress whatsover
You are in control of how you react, not the abuser. Just like your shitty attitude, that was your choice because you are a pseudo intellectualist.
Obviously this was a coping mechanism he was using because he couldn't make women feel anything (including your ex wife).
