For those who would pick TORTURE, what about Vassar’s universes of agonium? Say a googolplex-persons’ worth of agonium for a googolplex years.
Torture, again. From the perspective of each affected individual, the choice becomes:
1.) A (10(10100))/(3^^^3) chance of being tortured for (10(10100)) years.
2.) A 1 chance of a dust speck.
(or very slightly different numbers if the (10(10100)) people exist in addition to the 3^^^3 people; the difference is too small to be noticable)
I’d still take the former. (10(10100))/(3^^^3) is still so close to zero that there’s no way I can tell the difference without getting a larger universe for storing my memory first.
