1. then you obviously have to say: „What if someone I liked, unlike you, died?“ 2. ouch 3. say: „to me they are analogous“ 4. it depends. Because it always does. Pain is an evolutionary invention. Its useful in most cases to motivate better behavior for an „imaginary“ cost.

✍👀Got it. If someone calls me a masochist then I should instantly roast them. As for your argument that pain isn't useful in every case, isn't that why humans are able and willing to manually ignore pain if they have enough conviction that it's the right decision? I mean, if someone achieves a good outcome through luck or due to other people's interference I don't see people trying to avoid their enjoyment of the consequences. Isn't there inherent value in experiencing reality, even if there WERE a negative consequence to it? (To be clear, I promise you there isn't one though.)
