@FrameOfStack How can it count as suffering if you don't notice it. Isn't suffering defined as a subjective experience? A qualia?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@FrameOfStack If I immediately forget it, who had it? Can I be said to have an experience I forgot, if there's no other effect?5 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@FrameOfStack I may be overzealous on "forgotten." If it changes behavior, it must be real. I think I may be going down a side-track, here.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@FrameOfStack Memory of bad experiences is like putting your hand on the hob and leaving it there. Thank god we pull back.@ContentOfMedia1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@FrameOfStack It would be cool if it was possible to visualise experience lifetimes beyond the original point of exposure. @ContentOfMedia
