>Perhaps back then - and I say this to console the sissies - pain did not yet hurt as much as today; in any case a physician could draw this conclusion if he treated Negroes (these taken as representatives of prehistoric people-) for severe internal infections that would drive even the best constituted European nearly to despair; - in Negroes they do not do this. (In fact the curve of human capacity for pain seems to drop extraordinarily and almost abruptly as soon as we leave behind the upper ten thousand or ten million of the super-cultured; and for my part I do not doubt that the suffering of all animals taken together that have so far been required to answer scientific questions at the point of a scalpel simply does not merit consideration compared with a single painful night in the life of one little hysterical educated woman.)
Is this true sissybros?

Poor people don't have the luxury to stop working if they get hurt or sick, so they just ignore it as much as possible until it makes working impossible.
If you go to a poor rural white community you'll see people just as fucked up as poor black people, with missing teeth, missing fingers, untreated chronic illness, etc.

Is this why they eat extremely spicy foods and complain about seasoning all the time? Could it be that their taste qualia is less robust?

And those people tend to be closer to the natural animal state where suffering isn't such a meme like it is to the hysterical educated European woman.

He was trying to refute Wagner's anti-vivisection tract but he fails spectacularly.
