[make your own too, it’s fun and probably useless but who cares?]

We've invented remedies for various ills to ease suffering and therapies, it does not seem plausible the positive effects of getting those all cancel out with new suffering an individual experiences if they would not take those remedies.

In terms of animals, the law of fairness would be kinder yes, but it seems obviously untrue.

That's not how all things balancing out works though. If everything balances out the sense of meaning you'd find in the journey would balance out with despair elsewhere. Unless only some things balance out.

Would make for interesting fiction though.

We've made sand think, went to the moon and are experimenting with lab meat, and giving wild animals birth control instead of shooting them or releasing predators for population control.
The adaptation/the hedonic treadmill is a thing, but it's not an absolute law. Life can get better.

Damn, this is horrible...
If every pleasure is always counteracted by a displeasure elsewhere, on average life would be barely/not really worth living. The actual world might be slightly worse if you take animal suffering into account. But this is not an ineffability.

(oops, mistook the wires for power lines)

Lines to draw the grid
Current in strokes that will once form

Axis divide the stars, moon and us
The sky still dark till the power turns on

nothing

empty

one

one and two

one and two and three

living in meaning
finding a start

meaning converging on words to build on
meaning shapes words, and words shape meaning

looking for first among primitive expressions
grunts to build all later words

Friends who purr
I do meow

Catlike us
No place like home pot

Of mice and paws

The house now clean

Cats strike fear
Rodents don't come

Deterrence the best approach

The mice can smell
Don't go here

Cats so cute
The little guys

Give them lives
More than one

Legends once told
Now memetic spread

The AI god will be a cat

Cats come home before the dawn

The night was kind to them
The poor mice

Leaving breakfast bowls untouched

Preparing for wild hours under the moon

I thought intersex was strictly a biological thing, but I could be wrong

Moral dust of single tears
A storm of small wrongs

Drenge the calculus away

Commit a murder, but don't shed a million tears
