But actually no

People cannot comprehend counterfactual pain

People are horrible at imagining counterfactuals — imagining what they’re missing out on in an alternate reality where they did something differently

99% cannot feel pain from their losses vs an alternate reality where they’d done something differently, i.e. what’s loosely refered to as “regret” in AI

i.e.

(A) counterfactual regret / absence of achievable gains / absence of gains versus what was an easy-achievable alternate reality = ~0% of people feel pain, VIRTUALLY NO ONE FEELS PAIN,

versus,

(A) punishment / losses in this reality = ~95% feel pain, EVERYONE FEELS PAIN

Examples:

+ Counterfactual pain — missing out on the 750x on $PNUT, that was announced here repeatedly. How many feel real pain from missing out on the $750k they’d have, had they put in $1k — NO ONE AT ALL, ZERO

+ Punishment pain / realized losses pain — how many would be mad over losing a $50 bill from your wallet — EVERYONE

But virtually no one seems to recognize this extreme distinction

Everyone likes to laugh about the 95% of sub-90 IQs who cannot grasp the “How would you feel if you did not have breakfast this morning?” question

Reality?

99% of EVERYONE has zero grasp on counterfactual pain either, answering similarly absurd nonsense to “but I did have breakfast this morning”, when asked about missing massive wins that were thrown in their face repeatedly

~Zero are able to comprehend even the most extreme counterfactual pain

If you don’t understand why this is incredible, you’re probably in the 99% who just doesn’t get it

(People can see someone else who has something they want and get jealous, but that’s something far more primitive)

The Breakfast Question - How would you feel if you did not have breakfast this morning?

A lot of Palestinian flags at this protest

Just like what you see in other left wing protests in CDMX

Palestine always seems to make an appearance at protests that have nothing to do with it
