Do you really want me to answer that for you? Is it really that hard to think for yourself?
Alright then… You get either one or the other, there’s no way out of that whether you make a choice or not. Wouldn’t you still want to influence the choice so you get the one that hurts a lot less?
I mean at that point you struggle to escape, but assuming that’s definitely not possible, then sharp sticks hurt less. 🤷♂️ “Optimal” does not necessarily mean “good” or “desirable”.
Yes if fired the dull stick out of a fucking cannon it would destroy the eye, how many bits of criteria are we going to add to this (what should be anyway) very straightforward analogy?
There are times when a clean cut hurts less than a crude one. We’re not talking about actual damage done, which wasn’t part of the analogy to begin with.
Yeah, equally deep and long injuries with a sharper implement destroy fewer cells (since they have a smaller cross-section), cause less trauma, and are less disruptive to the surrounding tissues. I know it’s unintuitive, but it’s true.
What if the options are sharp stick or dull stick?

Sharp sticks hurt less…
What?
The dull stick is going to gouge your eye out entirely. I have no frame of reference of what would hurt more, but I guess that would be it.
No a dull stick would probably fuck your eye up, a sharp stick will absolutely destroy your eye.
That entirely depends on how deep the stick goes into your eye - though at some point it won’t matter anyway.

Dude you’re talking about shoving a stick into your eye. What part of a stick will provide a clean cut?

Thank you. That’s what I was trying to say.
