yeah all 3 of the originals are a hard no, what with the "catch" part of the question being either eternal suffering or almost immediate death. but it reminded me of a similar thing I saw a couple years back:
https://waitbutwhy.com/table/sun-heaven-quandary
Scenario 1: experience the pain of being immersed in lava (without being able to die) for one minute in exchange for next year being a fantastic one, in relative terms to your normal life
Scenario 2: experience the pain of being placed at the centre of the sun for a full year in exchange for 100 million years of heaven/paradise for you and your loved ones
at first, probably both of these would seem like a yes to most people, but it gets complicated the more you think about it. for example:
- as you are being burned, will your nerve sensation dull, or will you be forced to feel that same intensity for the entire period?
- if you decide the pain is too much, can you back out? assuming the reward gets rescinded if you do
- is it even possible to create a heaven that would feel that amazing for 100 million years, or would you quickly get bored and want to end it early?
I'm kind of leaning towards nah on the first one, and 50/50 on the second, depending on how the details of the agreement work.
