Lemmy_know when you got this up and running ❤️

I’m reading Le Carre’s “The Spy who came in from the Cold.” The protagonist briefly reflects on torture and his own inability to resist it. The antagonist later says something to the effect of, ‘We believe you think you’ve told us everything, but we want to make sure we get what your subconscious isn’t telling us.’ A creepy thought about the perspective of a torturer. Admittedly, this book was written by an ex-spy in the sixties, and the mindset about torture has shifted. Just found it interesting and maybe relevant

This is gonna give me a hernes (hernia?)

There’s also a level of understanding vs. utility involved. Being aware that there are subtypes of symbiotic relationship doesn’t necessitate using them in day to day conversation, as most ppl just remember that they learned about the category.

To biologists, however, there’s a world of difference.

I wouldn’t read too hard into it, he’s just trolling this comment thread based on his profile 🙄
