Assuming “within one current human” also implies that maximum suffering and happiness are defined as something like “the most unhappy/happy a human has ever been in history up to this point”, I would guess that the correct amount of time to spend at the worst suffering in exchange for 50 years of the best wellbeing would probably be much less than 50 years. Maybe 1-5 years? But my confidence intervals are very wide here.
Thanks for the answer! I’ll have to think some more about this. I meant “within one current human”.
