With suffering I mean the subjective experience of "bad" feelings, which I fo think is inherently bad. I'd imagine you try to optimize your life in a way such that you avoid "bad" feelings.
- chr1 7y agoIf that was my main goal i would use drugs, or just kill myself. Maximize "good" feelings is a better heuristic because most people accept arbitrary large amount of "bad" feelings, if that promises something good at the end. If a theory leads to conclusion that you should kill someone to help it, then something in its axioms is clearly wrong. Though looking at your username i am not sure if you were suggesting the above seriously or simply were trolling people who think that way.
- Kaiyou 7y agoYou cannot get rid of bad feelings just like you cannot get rid of poor people. No matter how much you improve, there will always be someone getting a shorter stick than someone else. I think that's how we got the insanity that are "micro-aggressions". Can't have light without shadow.
