You're in prison. Some days good, some bad, but always prison. Everyone you know is also in prison. Most don't know they're in prison. Some know, but insist prison is fine. Some sell keys that don't work. This is the Truth of Dukkha. Your refuge is nirvana. What is nirvana?

The suffering of the machine and human suffering are functionally equivalent. Both require consciousness, ownership via phenomenal self model, negative valence, and realness à la
@ThomasMetzinger. Dukkha means that while you may not be suffering now, you will eventually suffer. -
Yes, I really like the CONR formulation. I guess some of the confusion around the various uses of nirvana is that some traditions use it to mean that the necessary conditions for suffering aren’t present (eg: dissolving ownership and negative valence via some non-dual stuff).
