Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

      I thought the device was a way to measure objective truths. How could they be objective if our numbers are different for the same type of pain generation?

        Because the question isn’t whether or not each action causes the same pain in everyone, but whether or not it is theoretically measurable and comparable.

          How do you measure it accurately if it isn’t the same for everyone? How is this number calculated when pain is subjective? Because pain is not objective. Some people even enjoy pain.

            Obviously someone who enjoys pain or feels it less suffers less from the same action.

            If you like listening to Baby Shark and I don’t, listening to Baby Shark is a fun experience for you, but not for me. That the song can be liked in different amounts is an objective reality.

              Okay, then why is “there is no absolute morality” not an objective reality since, much like this pain detector, it can’t give a universal number for morality in all instances?
