I've suffered a lot at ages where you shouldn't have to suffer that much.
So if you haven't suffered as much as I have (this isn't a competition, I just want you to think on this), why do you have your views? At what point did you decide that these are good and reasonable views to have if you personally never suffered much?
I mean none of us here have suffered as much as African children. Yet they all want to live probably more than we do.
it's just a matter of empathy as class pointed out, 99% of people may not have felt the worst suffering there is, but that still leaves about 1% of the population (~72,000,000 people) who have and that's obviously not a real statistic anyway, so let's look at some real statisticswhether these impoverished people want to live more than us or not isn't really the point--it's the fact that many people do indeed suffer, and we should account for them--not marginalize them--because when you really look at it, there's a lot more terrible shit in the world than most of us are willing to admit what i liked the most about the video i posted was how quickly the society fell apart satan gave the people life, and decided to torture them out of sheer nihilism as a result of their impertinences for each other satan represents how i view budding parents--he's a natalist nihilist

Only boring motherfuckers wouldn't care about people seeing everything through their eyes for a day.
boring people tend to be very self-conscious about their lives you might be able to get away with "only narcissists," except i'm not a narcissist either

And you have? No that doesn't mean i'm unable to recognize that when someone says "the good in the world outweighs the bad in the world", they're talking out of their ass

My original post implied equal happiness and suffering. You can't have an argument of "oh you'd choose to spend an hour undergoing excruciating pain and misery so you can spend the next hour lounging around with a cup of peach tea?" It's not comparable. The average human is never going to be tortured in some Russian gulag, so even bringing up the point of "you've never had REAL suffering" is pointless. if you could illustrate the scenario for me, then, that would be helpful i won't contradict you, but i don't suspect that i will agree with you it's difficult for me to imagine a scenario where the suffering/happiness do not outweigh each other either which way, even if only by just a little bit i would stop eating cupcakes if i had to prick my finger every single time i decided to eat one they wouldn't really be worth it to me anymore at that point

99% of humans live their lives without any fear of actual physical torture. That vastly outweighs the 1% who does. how is this relevant, then, to your initial assertion that you'd undergo an hour of suffering if you could only receive an hour of pleasure first, if the suffering is conditioned only by, presumably, the worst you have felt thus far?you've relegated your point to, "i would suffer for an orgasm, just as long as the suffering isn't so bad" a vapid, diffident statement that has no meaning

I remember reading a breakdown of all the symbolism in the video one time but I forget all of it now.
it's pretty clear though

Sure, I've never been tortured or mutilated. But that's not a realistic perception for suffering for 99% of humans. which means 99% of humans do not have a realistic perception of real suffering besides, it shouldn't matter, if you can honestly think of a good experience that would outweigh being tortured and mutilated i don't think you can

Happiness outweighs suffering. If someone asked me whether I'd want an hour of happiness and then an hour of suffering, or nothing at all, I'd take the former in a heartbeat. and then you'd regret it "no i wouldn't" yeah... you would you've never felt real suffering in your life

"Every man is a suffering-machine and a happiness-machine combined. The two functions work together harmoniously, with a fine and delicate precision, on the give-and-take principle. For every happiness turned out in the one department the other stands ready to modify it with a sorrow or a pain—maybe a dozen. In most cases the man's life is about equally divided between happiness and unhappiness. When this is not the case the unhappiness predominates—always; never the other."

Death penalty is disgusting.
This. Fuck anyone who thinks it's justifiable to kill someone as a punishment.
I don't think of the death "penalty" as a punishment, though. I just think some people deserve to die, and this guy most certainly deserved to die.

Think how many vegetables die for nothing. Vegetables don't feel pain. It's impossible for a plant's death to be in vain, because nothing was actually lost.
