Yes or No thought experiment
I have a weird thought experiment that I´d like some feedback on.
Say when you commit a certain act, let´s call it the "red pill", you recieve a negative consequence/punishment. Now the red pill is something you´re very fond of. It brings you joy. It´s a pleasurable experience. You know that after you´re done with the red pill you will experience a temporary pain and suffering. The act of doing the red pill isn´t good for your physical health but it´s not that bad either. The punishment is recieved via an external source outside the act of doing the red pill. And the joy it brings is temporary as well.
Here´s the fun bit
What if you recieved the negative consequence/punishment before doing the red pill? Granting you a chance to do the red pill without recieving mentioned effects afterwards. The cycle would continue like this.
Would you do it?

What are the consequences?
Specifically.

January 29, 2020 at 04:04

The consequence is bad but when you are in so deep it doesnt matter.
It then becomes your life.
But... that depends specifically on the "red pill" and the "consequences."
Whether or not its worth it.

Ahhh work images


January 29, 2020 at 04:08

Nah....I like the regret after the fact. Just seems right.

January 29, 2020 at 04:10

Theres no limit after you´ve done your time.
Limitless drinking, until you stop.

If I really really loved the Red pill then it would be a yes... But then again I am reckless. I guess if I get the consequence before hand and can then fully enjoy the good effects I would... But it would have to be like that addiction level good. I´m prone to addiction

Limitless.

But what if it is a controlled allowance and not at your discretion for consumption?

January 29, 2020 at 04:18

I feel bad for the distributer...

Let´s say you´re hungry but you have to fight a pack of coyotes to get to your food and home.
In that mindset towards the red pill. You would go through hell and back to get what you want or at that point need.

Valid point. I guess it´s a matter then of necessity?

January 29, 2020 at 04:27

If I want something I dive in deep.
A new device, studying, ect.
I change everything until I get it. IF i want it bad enough.

Aye I hear ya... What if your will has been broken? What if your mental psychosis/diagnosis is akin to say PTSD and you know no different?

January 29, 2020 at 04:34

Scary experiment... to say the least...

January 29, 2020 at 04:36

=====
Scary no rather its more a phylosophical study of human behavior. But the whole of life is pleasure begot pain. I actually do like the idea of the suffering before the pleasure. It prevokes the quality of the pleasure that much more intense because you have the memory of the pain. Your enjoyment is higher. Thus knowing choosing the pill again the "consequence" is survivable.

January 29, 2020 at 04:57

But in the end, id rather have no pain at all


January 29, 2020 at 05:23

=====
Having no pain is irrational and a delusion nothing worth having comes without some measure of consequence



January 29, 2020 at 05:26

=====
Realistically speaking only in general not saying you are by any means but you can´t actually want something and receive it without knowing some sense of sacrifice is involved

January 29, 2020 at 05:27


January 29, 2020 at 05:34

=====
Taxpayer´s pay for that ... Even though the sacrifice isn´t directly associated to those receiving doesn´t mean in any means that that freedom was giving without sacrifice.

Oof wrong video linked on that but now I can´t find it and I´m sleepy ... Thanks for differences in opinion.
