Hypothetical for you /sci/

Lets say you can increase your intelligence by changing your brains structure, lets call it eva

You can cooperate with society and achieve a decent level of eva or you can put somebody in a one hundred billion year torture situation and achieve a higher level of eva lets say 50% higher eva than the soc wide value.

Would you put somebody in a one hundred billion year torture situation to achieve higher eva?

Somebody who isn't me? Sure.

I would not harm anybody. Harming insects is too much for me so a hundred billion year torture situation is definitely a no go.

I would put myself in there. Pain is a good teacher.

Sounds like a negligible gain for such a heinous act. I'd say no, not worth it.

>> No.11220461

I would not torture somebody so I would go for the soc wide value

eva sound very similar to magic.
Magic is real right?

Can you prove it?

A worm has about 80 neurons. Believe me it has no consciousness or it has something so far removed from a consciousness that it doesnt count. It definitely lacks the sophisticated brain structures necessary to feel pain.

This is very interesting to me. Have any diagrams of a worm brain?

I have this diagram which shows the scale of the worms brain relative to everything else. No diagrams of the worms brain itself.

I would not torture somebody. Dont be ridiculous.

I would gladly torture a massive number of people for no reason whatsoever. This sounds like a bonus.

literally this. I also have people I legitimately hate for ruining my life.
ie. my negro nigger faggot bitch cunt father that left me.
>>11220442
I feed insects to my tarantulas all the time and feel nothing.
I do it so my cute, friendly tarantulas can live.

don't worry anon, you'll find your psych gf that "just wants to change you for the better"
society and life isn't even real.
and if I were incredibly intelligent I'd probably be able to find a way to make the guy that got tortured forget it ever happened in the first place.
it's like the whole
"would you be god and have a billion people die or not be god and let those people live"?
If I was god I could just recreate those people
"would you rather have a trillion dollars and kill a puppy or be a broke ass nigga and have a puppy"
yeah bro, just fucking stomp on that bitch, create a HUGE memorial for the puppy, turn him into a religious idol, and buy a million puppies in replacement.
