You think everyone has the same levels of physical and psychological pain tolerance? Nonsense. I have trigeminal neuralgia. I’m would bet my pain tolerance is objectively a hell of a lot higher than yours at this point.

Why does that matter? Than for you the device would simply give out a smaller number.

  I thought the device was a way to measure objective truths. How could they be objective if our numbers are different for the same type of pain generation?

    Because the question isn’t whether or not each action causes the same pain in everyone, but whether or not it is theoretically measurable and comparable.

    How do you measure it accurately if it isn’t the same for everyone? How is this number calculated when pain is subjective? Because pain is not objective. Some people even enjoy pain.
