Comment by mimgy (minjae-cho) on Pain is not the unit of Effort · 2023-03-27T10:09:24.611Z · LW · GW

Pain is the unit of change. Effort, including of others, can be applied to minimize the necessary pain.

Unwanted or forced change is an injury, a wound, or trauma

Wanted, natural, and needed change (including healing) might hurt as much but your actions, medicine, and technology can minimize pain.
