      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted

      I'm sympathetic to the point being made in following tweets, but suffering - true suffering - is absolutely horrible, and "oh, no, stasis and failing to grow are worse" is wrong. Sure, a bit of pain to grow is a good tradeoff - but the claim below is WAY too strong. https://twitter.com/erin_nerung/status/1202550057997885440 …

      i was thinking in terms of civilization/the times one lives in/human suffering broadly speaking, and it's funny that the reactions were of defensive "so you're saying MY suffering doesn't matter?" outrage. the human psyche is a thing of infinite beauty

      i'd also add that if you act like it's the worst thing and not something unavoidable, you suffer twice - once for the pain of what you're going through, and once again for the fact that you're having to go through pain at all

      "worst thing" is orthogonal to "unavoidable" also, much suffering IS avoidable

          much of it is, but also much of it appears to be avoidable but is not really, considering the constraints involved. (say - world hunger) and it's not orthogonal at all, someone who thinks it is the worst thing is not someone who truly accepts its inevitability

          the one example you chose is something that seems to be HUGELY avoidable - the rate of hunger has been collapsing for decades and is heading for zero
