Ending human suffering, a matter of taste?

Postby Nevertopia » Sat May 15, 2021 8:59 pm

Please consider the following hypothetical:

A one-time magical option is enabled for you to magically and instantly change all of the world's population so that absolutely everyone has tastebuds in their buttholes.

The intensity of the taste will be as efficient as the ones normally found on the human tongue and optimized so none of the flavor is lost in the variable conditions of an individuals sphincter.

So one possibility... is that simultaneously all around the world everybody is acutely aware of whats in their anal cavity and its every taste and texture thus creating a shared suffering that all of humanity can relate to and quite possibly bond over, hypothetically ushering in a new age of understanding amongst people everywhere.

What do you say? Let's roll the dice? Or let's not?

If everyone suffers the same then at the very least we would get rid of ignorance to each others pain as a source of discrimination for now although it is possible humanity will re-invent a new system of discrimination... perhaps linguistically, religious, or surname-based? You'd get a new world. But would it be a better or worse world?

Let's speculate. And justify your decision to do the Transformation, or not to do it.

tf is this
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

This is an accurate depiction of me when I finished reading this hypothetical.

Before you lays an entire world of enemies, and at day's end when the chips are down, we're a society of strangers. You cant walk by someone on the street anymore without crossing the road to get away from their stare. Welcome to the Twilight Zone. The land of plague and shadow. Nothing innocent survives this world. If it can't corrupt you, it'll kill you."

I run away from the magician on the grounds that I have previously been given the opportunity to allow people to taste things with their you-know-what for no good reason.

Gross, and almost a copypaste of another thread.

How would this end human suffering? All we'd get is starving poor people who can taste their shit and filthy rich people who can taste their shit. Adding a constant amount of suffering to everyone doesn't eliminate existing disparities.

I think that's enough "taste buds in buttholes" bizarre hypotheticals for, like, ever. Thanks.
