>>16054700For all they know, they could've experienced the longest and highest amount of pain of anyone else in the study. So, I wouldn't be surprised if both groups reported having an excrutiatingly horrible experience, even though if you ask them beforehand which they want, everyone would pick the fast one. It ties into something I think about a lot, how people take things for granted all the time. I'm guilty of this as well, hopefully less so. But there are billions of people in the world with "objectively worse" experiences than us. However, that never factors into how we evaluate our own problems. Not to say that we should feel completely indifferent to our own problems, but it's an interesting perspective. I could go on and on about that, but last thing I'll say for now is that obviously I'm not immune, I've done my fair share of blogbitching. Thanks again for your help with those.
>>16054702>The issue is not dulling the horribleness of the zombie grapes, but how the zombie grapes dull the experience of the good ones, you know?Yeah, I know that feel. I think that depends on the person. Some people can eat the zombie grapes, hate them, then enjoy the following good ones without letting the zombies further taint their experience. At the very least, the degree and duration that the zombies ruin the subsequent good grapes will vary between people. Though, I'm getting the sinking suspicion this was autism on my part and you were just describing your own feelings about the zombies and not saying how people in general feel or should feel about them, in which case, oops. I really need to try grapes again so I can see what my experience of those zombies will be. I know the good ones will be good, but I wonder about the zombies.
>>16054705>you could just pick off all the zombie onesTrue. There lies a philosophical question, a question of values: is increasing and potentially guaranteeing a positive experience worth the cost of convenience? char lim
