  Maybe it would be less happy without the pain!

  Presumably at that point it could just tell us. Whether or not we would listen is its own set of problems

    Would it know? What sort of reference could it possibly have?

    We already have a similar problem in medicine where people experience pain differently, so it’s hard for people to verbalize and quantify. If you had no frame of reference at all, how would you know that life isn’t supposed to be painful.

    Some interesting philosophical questions.
