Your question brought a picture to mind…
The old rat-maze, only for humans. Human-pig experiment. ( My apologies to the Guinea pigs in their little plastic run balls everywhere… )
Two bars to press down for food. One- press and out comes a pellet of food that is so excellent- words can’t describe it.
The second bar, when pressed, gives a strong electric shock and a pellet of the same type of food. Does it taste as wonderful as without the shock?
What if the giant controller of the experiment takes a vacation. Oops. Forgot to fill the food bins for when the bars are pressed.
Which bin runs out first?
What does the human-pig do when the shock accompanies the food- is it worth the unpleasant in order to get the pellet?
Does the human-pig become immune to the shock?
How would the human-pigs in the first group explain it to an incoming second group?
Or can they?
How can one experience something and then try to explain it to another who has not experienced it at all- ever?
Then you have those who love being shocked – who knows why.
What does one do with their own life experiences when it feels a certain way to the one, but may not even be in the realm of another’s experiences or imagination?
Jeeze. Anyone have an aspirin? Ow.
