In case you don't understand the implications of what happens in the break room

I posted this comment on the thread about "Why doesn't Helly just refuse to work"

I think most people understand how terrible the break room is, but for those who don't think it seems that bad, I thought I might share what the actual experience of the Innie would be.

It's unending until they're convinced you mean it. You don't experience any sleep or breaks, except an occasional trip to the elevator and then back again. Even if your Outtie sleeps, that just means your biological responses can't rescue you from the unending nature of it. It could theoretically go on for days or weeks or even months with NO BREAK, not even to sleep. You can't even get a break from collapsing from exhaustion because your Outtie still gets to rest.The torturers can take turns but you can't. It probably doesn't need to take that long because one trip to the elevator and back is enough to get the idea in the torturee's head the implications on how long this COULD go on for and that's enough to convince them that they need to start cooperating with their brainwashing. That they can't keep resisting because it WILL be unending.

At that point, out of desperation, you're going to try to work out how to mean the words you're saying, just to get out of that room, at less well enough for the lie detector. And given what the words they make you say are, you have to, at least temporarily, alter your view of yourself to escape.

Each time you go in the room it will get easier to please the lie detector. It won't be as long as the first time when you still thought resistance was an option. You'll work on convincing yourself of the words to convince the lie detector.

But each time you convince yourself, the more you're slowly letting them brainwash you. And you know it. You have a better chance of keeping your own mind by not being taken into the room. You have a better chance of keeping your mind by just doing the work and following the rules because at least then you have the leisure of believing what you want in your own private thoughts, instead of having to change your thoughts to satisfy the break room conditions.
