1. True.
2. Does not make it painless.
3. Would not help those with those diseases that are (for now) incurable.
4. If you put a pig in a small pen, prevent it from moving, and slaughter it in the ‘ideal’ moment, the meat will be cheap. If you allow it to walk on grass, it will burn loads of calories and therefore be much more expensive. If you wait until it dies of old age rather than killing it before it becomes a teenager, the meat will be unaffordable in a society where everyone is equal (for not 3 billion live from a few dollars per day). Lab meat is Sci-fi. If we allow Sci-Fi, we can also allow uploaded conciousness, eliminating all biological suffering, but that’s a ideal Sci-fi scenario that no one living today will see.
5. If nobody cleans the toilets and the sewers, it will become nasty rather quickly. If you pay those that do the dirty work more, you create inequality and envy. Robots are Sci-fi.
6. The human brain has a agenda of it’s own.
7. There would still be an insane level of suffering required until someone abandons all hope and chooses voluntary euthanasia.

Life is not subjective because suffering is not subjective. If you really believe that life is what you perceive it to be, prove it to yourself by sleeping on a nail-bed starting tomorrow.

Let’s say we lived in an ideal global society. No inequality, no hatred, no pedo-governments, no war.

• We would still be immersed 24/7 in a corrosive gas that slowly kills us with each breath we take.
• Our bodies would still require constant maintenance trough regular and painful excercise.
• Our bodies would still be ravaged by disease: The cold. The flu. Tooth decay. Anxiety/Depression. Corona. Aging. Cancer. Death.
• Billions of Pigs would still be tortured every day so this ideal society does not have to waiver anything.
• We would still work 9-5 doing necessary but boring stuff like cleaning toilets, assembling devices, maintaining machines, disposing of waste, spraying the fields. Because all those modern ameneties require much more work to produce than happiness they generate.
• We would stilk fear the day when this ideal society collapses, even when this society was actually eternal. Because brains are designed to worry.
• There would still be plenty of disabled people. Physical and mental. They would not be equal, even in an ideal society. Millions of those would be in constant pain, with no cure in sight.

Life is only beautiful to masochists and or sadists.

Tldr: New tech (audiovisual media) bad, old tech (reading) good.

They even say that good reading skills lead to liberal democracy. Which is ironic because there is no government on this planet (that i know of) that is democratic (or liberal).

Personally i think we would live in a utopia if people consumed cave-art and stories by storytellers rather than this book-slop which is easy to mass produce and distribute.
