This is the definition of suffering that we'll be using for this discussion:

Suffering: Something that you wouldn't want to risk feeling no matter what other feeling you could get by risking feeling it. Example: I don't want to risk feeling X not even if by risking feeling X I can feel feeling Y which feels infinitely enjoyable.

I intend this to be a proof for all so since I can't prove a feeling such as suffering exists for all i'll just state it as something that could potentially exist.

Suffering could potentially exist because nothing makes its existence impossible. Therefore its existence is possible. If something makes suffering impossible then if its possible for that which makes suffering impossible to be not working then the suffering would be possible.

Since suffering could potentially exist, it would be better to relatively painlessly die and feel nothing forever than to live, feel infinitely enjoyable, but be potentially risking suffering.

How is this not a logically valid proof that we should all die to avoid risking suffering?

I'm currently waiting to move to an area where i'll have the right to die. I tried death by dehydration where I am now but I was taken to the hospital and force-fed fluids and then told if I didn't start eating that I would have a tube put in my stomach to force-fed food.

>> No.3678361

It's an inadequate definition of suffering. Any new experience would risk involving suffering since you don't know, thus everything would be potentially suffering.

Plus, it's not like suffering is the worst thing ever. Better break up with someone and feel pain for a few weeks than stay with him/her and feel depressed all your life.

>> No.3678365

by dieing you may cause yourself to feel Suffering after death worse that if you live, so it is not logical to die.

this assumes that you are able to feel something after death, which may be possible, and as it is possible, you should avoid it.

>> No.3678381

Suffering in its most straightforward definition is negative experience through physical, emotional or mental means. You defining it as a thing which is so bad that no one would risk it even for "infinite" happiness is contrived, arbitrary and inane.

If you really believe this to be true, then you should have painlessly killed yourself already.

How is this not a logically valid proof that we should all die to avoid risking suffering?

Because with the differences in people's judgement of the potential of suffering in relation to the potential of happiness in varying degrees will bring in one's own feelings on the matter. Therefore, when you say all people should just die, you're assuming that everyone will reach the same conclusions in the same situation, which they won't.

I already defined suffering as something one would not want to risk even if given something INFINITELY ENJOYABLE. A pain that could hurt that bad.

Therefore it makes no sense to talk about weighing whether risking such a suffering is worth it or not, I already defined it as a pain that would hurt so bad that it would make you not even want to risk feeling it no matter if you got a feeling that was infinitely enjoyable for doing so.

The burden of proof is on you to prove your definition of suffering exists.

In reality, people feel varying intensities of suffering and have many differing view on whether it is useful or if they deserve it. To claim it is always and absolutely one way and of infinite negativity is logically unsound on many levels.

>> No.3678447

You're more likely to feel nothing when dead than when alive because the systems that enable you to feel when you are alive are all not working when you are dead. Go to your local cemetery and poke a corpse, it won't move, blink, or even wake up. Now go poke somebody who is alive, they will react. Surely its possible that the dead person simply isn't able to react or show any signs of life, but its also possible that the dead person simply can't feel or isn't conscious while when you're alive it isn't possible at all for you to not be conscious while still staying alive unless you're in a coma or something similar.

As for having no evidence or proof of my definition of suffering, that doesn't really matter all that much. The mere fact that it COULD exist is enough to start acting logically about risking such a thing.

>>3678528

Grilled cheese, OP. It's the grilled cheese.

There is no grilled cheese after death, that's the reason people don't kill themselves.

Also, you are now hungry.

Well that's your (rather illogical) choice (for now, anyways). Sadly, one you could come to intensely regret.

Anyways, refuting my argument with what you're choosing to do doesn't invalidate my argument. Try to invalidate my argument, or admit that you can't and its true.

I disagree, since it is unlikely that such a thing will actually occur, so I think it is logical to play the odds and live.

I think that dying prematurely because of a hypothetical misfortune is pretty illogical.

If you disagree, why haven't you killed yourself yet? I don't think you even believe yourself.

I already defined suffering as something you wouldn't want to risk no matter if made to feel infinitely enjoyable for doing so. Whether such a suffering exists or not is unknown, but the mere fact that it could exist is enough to be logically compelled to choose to feel nothing than to live, feel great, but be potentially risking such a thing.

Just because you in your definition included the phrase "It could exist" doesnt prove that it could exist.
Its still just fiction and unscientific.

A great wizard residing in Andromeda has great disdain for beings who squander their lives by suicide. So, with his space-magic, he revives such beings, curses them with immortality, and subjects them to as much pure pain and agony as their neurosystem can allow them to experience.

Because you can't prove that this can't happen, as far as you know, it might.

So what do you do?

>> No.3679084

>>3679070
I suppose I can't, but since you can't disprove it, its still possible that that which is unfalsifiable isn't necessarily false.

>>3679065
It could possibly exist, not because I said it could in the definition (which I didn't) but because it has not been proven to not exist, therefore its existence is still a possibility.

Then since you cant prove that Christian God exists, there is a possibility that he will penalize you by leaving you in hell in which you will suffer even more.
But you cant prove that such God doesnt exist hence you are logically compelled to live as much as you can as it is a fact that there is a possibility that there is hell and that you and your soul will suffer beyond what you can fantasize.

Your argument is invalid.

No it is still a fiction as you cant prove its possibility.
Just because you have no evidence doesnt prove its possibility.
You dont even know the basics of Science.

I forgot to add that the wizard keeps you in his indestructible meta-time chamber that will force you to keep existing and suffering unimaginably even if the entire space-time continuum of this universe implodes on itself and ceases to be. So you can't ever get back to tell us.

This is the definition of faggot that we'll be using for this discussion:

OP.

I intend this to be a proof for all so since I can't prove a faggot such as OP exists for all i'll just state it as something that could potentially exist.

OP could potentially exist because nothing makes its existence impossible. Therefore its existence is possible. If something makes suffering impossible then if its possible for that which makes faggoty impossible to be not working then the faggotry would be possible.

Since faggotry could potentially exist, it would be better for OP to painlessly die and feel nothing forever than to live, feel infinitely faggoty, but be potentially risking being a faggot.

How is this not a logically valid proof that Op is a fag?
