True, but I think those being explicitly tortured will be suffering a lot more than the average person. We can define it as that for the hypothetical anyway xD
More challenging is to remove the benefit of answering as a bystander and hand over an active role, so now the question is would you torture an innocent to keep the world alive. Then question progresses to what if that innocent is someone you care most about to see the extent of their resolve
Not really. It’s more like:
Everyone ending
One innocent ending to keep everyone else alive
That’s more challenging.
But living is suffering.
I would say “life is a struggle”. Of course it’s challenging, it doesn’t mean that it’s bad.
Regardless, what’s your point?
You use the word struggle to give some kind of meaning to the suffering.
My point is that there is no answer to the question because life is suffering.
