Based on the definitions given by the Welfare Footprint Project here (search for “definitions”) for various types of pain, do you have any guesses for how bad is excruciating pain relative to annoying, hurtful and disabling pain? I guess:
Excruciating pain is 1 k times as bad as disabling pain.
Disabling pain is 100 times as bad as hurtful pain, and therefore excruciating pain is 100 k times as bad as hurtful pain.
Hurtful pain is 10 times as bad as annoying pain, and therefore excruciating pain is 1 M times as bad as annoying pain.
Great post!
