Would you rather: Do three hours of washing dishes, feel stupid for a week, have mild delusions of grandeur, experience intellectual jealousy, bath in water that is never sufficiently warm, and step on a lego OR have a single minute of a Cluster Headache?
Do you think that you could change your mind if the pain was sufficiently intense?

If it was intense enough to permanently decrease my IQ or hunder my future ability to achieve my goals then yes. Otherwise load it on but keep it a short period of time and let me get back to work

In the thought experiment you don't have any lasting side effects from the intense suffering. Wouldn't you say there is a level of pain/suffering when you would switch? Otherwise perhaps you are optimizing for the wellbeing of your genes rather than consciousness.
