I said suffering exists relatively to joy as in without joy there would be no suffering and viceversa. If there was only night, there would be no day, but then night too wouldn't exist, it would just be. If everyone was chad there would be no incels, but then why call them chads, they would be just people, so there would be no concept of chad
As for the part about learning through suffer, I talked about it a bit still in the message. Basically if we were undying, perfect and constantly in bliss we would just spend our days standing still doing nothing, becasue why do anything when you don't have to worry abput anyhing and are in constant bliss? There would be no progress, no learning, no art, no nothing. So I don't think it's possible to learn without suffering
This brings also the question about omnipotence. Even if there was an omnipotent god he could't make it that 1+1=3 for example, you can write 2 as 3 but that would only change the word to indicate it, not the significate. Logic is what just is, 1+1=2 because it just doesand there could not be a world in which 1+1=3 because it simply wouldn't be at all. So in a way god has to stand under logic, maybe god is logic Idk
I'm glad you agree that it is not possible for human suffering(sensory and emotional experience) to not exist since basically, we live in a world where we are meant to compete for resources and our biological desire to survive after its been established that such a world without suffering could not exist and also that worlds can only exist with the intrinsic logical aspect of the domain of mathematics.
Generally, I think everyone can agree suffering and pleasure/joy are things that can not be quantitatively explained or defined. But it is democratically accepted that they are 'real' as experiences in the brain. I was reading this thread from 2018 where a user said that consciousness is really a form of decreasing entropy in an
open system. That is, a non-isolated system so as to not violate the laws of thermodynamics.
Let me elaborate on the learning part.
Let's say we tried to create an incredibly complex simulation such that we could simulate very neuron in a human brain to create the experience, or to see if we could mimic the experience of consciousness. I don't think, at least computationally, it'd be possible. This is because we know that neuron firings are really just tools, the deal lies with
tissue that is formed among the neurons. What the brain does is it doesn't want
more firing, it wants less firing and does so by forming tissue between neurons. In terms of resource efficiency, its great because it allows better connections for for firing that is used frequently. If one can imitate the activity of neuronal firing it wouldn't mean anything, because when we are
learning things, the only thing that really changes in the brain is the
structure. Which is only due to the tissues. (Simply put, learning can be classified scientifically as physical changes in the structure of the brain).
I think its more of an ontological problem. We,
ourselves, our culture, have created the notions of suffering and joy, just as we have formulated the idea of a God (which is not well defined and I think varies subjectively across individuals and cultures).
