I appreciate quantifying gut feelings as probabilities, but I have no idea what that's supposed to mean here. What is the probability that I will be in a given state of pain at a given moment in time? What's my subjective credence to the notion that I would enjoy this sort of pain? When I have the option of obtaining this sort of pain, what is the probability I will accept?
