    We have no idea about the conditions he lived in, but i think 26 years is easily enough time to turn a humans brain into complete goo. You can make a human believe anything with that sort of timeframe.

    You can see that from the most extreme forms of military training. You take a human that has empathy and a fear of death and you just completely eliminate those things from that persons entire existence.

      still, i’m shocked to read that his survival instincts wouldn’t overcome his conditioning. that doesn’t happen by accident, his captor knew what he was doing.
