    If you give me 1000 years to read books in 8.5 hours I might actually become a competent revolutionary.

    Like seriously has anyone thought about the implications of what torturing someone for 1000 years in the space of 8.5 hours would do to that person? In 8.5 hours you're giving that person 1000 years of time to think about exactly how they're going to kill you when their 8.5 hours are up.

    It's a really stupid fucking idea. One that could be used for good because the idea of being able to experience slowed down time like that for learning would be genuinely huge for humans. But of course the first thought these fuckheads have is how they can use it for torture.

      I'm pretty sure a person would be more likely to come out of 1,000 years of imprisonment as a gibbering, broken shell of a person than as an angry, violent revenge-machine.
