    You’re at a hospital and you have 5/10 pain. You have two options, one gets you 3/10 pain and the other gets you 7/10 pain. Which is better for your pain situation? Is neither better because neither is 0/10?

      And you being such an intelligent doctor can tell the patients how much pain they are experiencing and don’t even need their input right? That sounds ethical.

        This isn’t about doctor or patients or colonies or oppression. It’s about the word “better” and how they objectively misused it and undermined what they were trying to express by doing so.

          I totally get it. Those stupid silly natives aren’t smart enough to know what words like objectively mean. So it’s up to you to tell them how to feel and think. I understand what you’re laying down. They’re just not civilized enough, they’re like children to you right? So obviously it’s up to you to do what’s best for them since they couldn’t possibly know for themselves. Totally understand.
