How long does the torture last? Presumably much less than 100000 years, since those are specified to be average-happy. For reasonable values of torture time: HELL YES.
What's your method? If it's something like "isolation so that nobody can murder you", it's not very fair because you get tortured all the time, and you can't be prevented from killing yourself in the middle of it (which is pretty likely due to discounting and limits to willpower).
And... yeah, kiddo, you're objectively wrong about your preference not to be stabbed with a needle, just stick it out and enjoy your extra years of healthy life and your lollipop.
Downvoted for disrespectful communication style and misrepresentation.
Bwuh? What's wrong with "pain for long life is worth it, whether the scale is 'vaccine' or 'longevity for torture'"?
We don't use 'And... yeah, kiddo' as a status move here. We need to be more subtle.
