I’m willing to bet 2k USD on my part against a single dollar yours that that if I waterboard you, you’ll want to stop before 3 minutes have passed
Interesting, where are you physically located? Also, are you thinking of the unpleasantness of the situation, or are you thinking of the physical asphyxiation component?
Christopher Hitchens, who tried waterboarding because he wasn’t sure it was torture, wanted to stop almost instantly and was permanently traumatized, concluding it was definitely torture.
There is absolutely no way anyone would voluntarily last 3 minutes unless they simply hold their breath the entire time.
I’m currently based in Santiago, Chile. I will very likely be in Boston in September and then again in November for GCP and EAG, though. My main point is about the unpleasantness, regardless of its ultimate physiological or neurological origin.
