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 …
"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
