Would you opt for a life with no pain? – Hayley Levitt and Bethany Rickwald

1. Sometimes I like pain, some types of pain. NOT all types… Like, taking a new piercing – part of the fun for me is the pain I get when they sting! 🙈 Maybe I’m weird. I like going out in the winter and feeling cold, having to dress in big and comfy clothes to feel warmer. Also, giving birth. I can’t wait to feel what that pain feels like, and how thankful I will be to have my baby here. 🥰 But there’s many types of pain I of course would like to live without, if I could. But I would not like to live with only happiness and no types of pain or discomfort… Life is so exciting when you never know what will happen.

2. Me before the video: I would, but there's a lot of downsides to that, so no

   Me after the video: I would, but there's a lot of downsides to that, so no

3. But what if I’m a masochist 😢

4. i want emotional pain not pain pain

5. I would get bored.

6. Hm nah, It will be soo boring 🙁

7. Haha, Xander and Angelica? Love letters? Her sister?? You are not sly with these Hamilton references lol

8. There are many things which are way more important than pleasure, such as various experiences, learing the truth about life , and realizing what pain feels like . Pain can never be pleasing but it can actually do wonders which no pleasure can do. Its important to feel good but to learn and experience pain is even more important!

9. Well… People drink and do drugs and addict things just to run from realty

10. That's the thing I don't like about the sterotypical picture of heaven

    I don't want infinite pleasure atleast let there be a little pain all my life ive learned through pain

11. xander,,,betsy,,,,angelica,,,,,

    aleXANDER,, angelica,, and elizabeth schyuler's nickname was betsy,,,,,

    ….oop

12. I would live in reality
    Rather than plug yourself in a happiness machine created by a person with deep shower thoughts all the time.

    no I’m kidding
    don’t screw me ;-;

13. Honestly, no, because things have opposite effects on me. I drink a cup of coffee and I'm tired. A dentist gives me laughing gas and I'm stressed. I don't know why, but that's just how it works for me.

14. This explanation is not complete …

15. TV: … episode 5372
    Me:that's a lot of episodes

16. Ted ed narrator:it may seem like a tempting offer, but perhaps it's not as ideal as it sounds.
    Me:WHAT.NOT TEMPTING?!

17. No but won't you start losing pleasure

18. Escape the matrix and shatter the mirrors of falsehood… I dare you!

19. Need pain for a complete life ? Seriously? Is rather live in my own pleasure machine. I think life is too short to think about pain, reality, truth etc.

20. “Ignorance is bliss”

21. HOOKERS are my Experience Machine…
    ❤😆❤

22. Zander? Angelica? We know what that's from. 😏 🇺🇸

23. Sounds like the infinite tsukuyomi from Naruto

24. This was the basic plot of the Matrix, there will always be two groups that think their solution is the best.

25. I don't want to be plugged into a happiness machine but that doesn't mean you are gonna plugg me into a pain Machine.

26. So would you rather believe a happy lie or a cruel truth?

27. Honestly I lucid dreamed about this the first time it was amazing second time it was boring all the people where drinking partying I was never more terrified In my life that was it damn when I woke up I was releaved as it was just an dream because I can't stand infinite pleasure I like balance some peace and enjoyement in the middle that's why I don't believe in God because Heaven kinda sounds way too extreme for me honestly.

28. I’ve watched to many movies to say yes

29. Surprising lack of people arguing my main reason for not plugging in: I wouldn't get to interact with and affect the lives of other real people.

30. The struggle to obtain those moments of pleasure build the value of pleasure. No struggle equates to less value. The warmth feels greater after the cold. Embrace and feel gratitude for your pain as it is an investment in your pleasure.

31. Infinite pleasure is too weird for me. I only like a world like the one we live in.

32. Infinite Tsukoyomi

33. did this man really just use Hamilton as an example?

34. Maximum pleasure; isn't that what the Bible is selling? You can have it. As for me; when I "go" I won't have ANY concincenes!

35. 2020 is making me consider plugging in

36. And what if I'm a masochist

37. Reality is also an illusion

38. more like the matrix..

39. Did anyone noticed the Hamilton?

40. Never learning the truth.
    Can not happen.
    I would like to know the truth because it will hurt more if I learn the truth later.
    Beyond the point of rerun.
    Also it depends on the person in question.

41. Xander and Angelica?

    Is this somehow pertaining to Alexander Hamilton and Angelica Schuyler?

42. The Infinite Tsukuyomi

43. Goddamn it, let Betsy be, if she happy, she happy 😭

44. I feel like anyone who says no to the endless pleasure machine is like saying no to heaven. Or do bad things happen in heaven too

45. Me just think of post structuralism and every single thing is important, pleasure can't exist without suffering. Say would you love a world without a fight nor a single argument I think I can't live without it. Life is like a game its an endless challenge to attain different possibilities waiting for you neither good nor bad and bad is by making yourself stronger by solving it. To conclude I won't choose a world without pain it's just dull and boring just like a surrounding without a color. I believe true happiness can only be attain if you succeed at something you pursue by walking through the hard way.

46. Masochism?

47. So basically the first version of the matrix designed by the architect

48. You know i thought about this for a while. When people go to church or believe in heaven, what they kinda believe in is eternal bliss and that means no pain. So most people whether they like it or not have opted for the Experience Machine in future. If everybody wants to get into heaven then technically they believe in a life with Eternal Happiness is the best thing that could happen to them, always rejoicing and ever going higher in their enjoyment.

49. As soon as I saw it, I thought "No." To paraphrase Meg from A Wrinkle in Time (the book, not the movie), to be happy, you also need to be unhappy.

50. maruki would like to know your location
