what if Satan-Cthulhu was secretly feeding the ants the kind of information that we clearly see needs a conscious mind to extract from the universe, and also the ants could do some weird-ass quantum shit with radiation?
Have you read Children of Time?

Very true, owing to the fact that some major bone breaks like your hip and spine have extremely high mortality rates. That's why they're up in rank 3. If you were humiliated or ostracized in a severe way like job loss, divorce, family disruptiion 200 (or 40) times in a row you would probably kill yourself or at least spiral into an unrecoverable depression. In any case I don't think this scale works very well for "stacking debuffs", but 200 people giving you constant low-level (something that individually or a half dozen times wouldn't phase me or you at all) antagonism is what drives most teenagers to kill themselves I imagine.

Those are numbers, not stars, but your objection doesn't disprove anything I said. It's nearly a non-sequitur.

Your desire to reframe the issue in your favour suggests that I am more correct than you are comfortable with admitting (Beat up becomes violently assault, "Call a bitch" instead of "Verbal assault, harassed and bullied). These are roughly equivalent because they likely cause temporary harm quickly, and don't have much lasting effect, a quick "Smarten up" if you will.
Definitely. If you scale physical and mental harm either linearly or on some sort of curve, these are within 1 rank of eachother at the furthest (and I think roughly equivalent)
5: murdered
4: permanently maimed (legs amputated, blinded)
3: injury with long recovery (broken hip, ruptured tendon)
2: injury with short recovery (sprained wrist, strep throat)
1: painful injury with no loss of function (slapped very hard, wasp sting)
0: nothing
5: total pariah (exiled, stripped of all social status)
4: fired and shunned (harvey weinstein, permanently life and livelihood altering, sam bankman-fried)
3: humiliating disruption (acrimonious divorce, demoted and forced to change careers, star wars kid?)
2: mild in length or severity of mockery (that lawyer who couldnt turn off the cat-effect on his zoom trial, a local clergyman leaves his microphone on while he uses the toilet)
1: typical bullying (a schoolmate who calls you a fag every week, mean-spirited gossip)
0: nothing
both of these are clearly in the 1-2 zone at worst. Obviously the world is very large and people have different goals, social realities, pain tolerances etc. But I'm quite confident in my assessment. By a week or 2 your bruises from your beating will heal, and everyone will forgot about the party where you got called a fat-slut and ran out crying.

Yeah and it's OK that we recognize gendered solutions are appropriate. If a man in a social setting is being aggressively unpleasant you will threaten to hit him and then follow up on it, if a woman is doing the same you will call her an annoying bitch and that everyone thinks she's fat and ugly - it will inflict roughly equivalent damage.

An Iranian expat has told me recently (with regards to the Women's rights and other major protests), that suggesting these (albeit sometimes large) protests will lead to regime change is the same as if Chinese or Cuban state media portrayed the BLM or Occupy Wall Street protests as possibly toppling the US government. The state there is powerful and entrenched, aside he has no love for the regime and is an anti-Islamist.
I don't really want to tone police and maybe this fails the building consensus rule but for the love of god can we avoid writing "unalived" and "graped" like tiktok retards?

Wow, $500,000 for TheMotte? Great work man.
Here's the other angle, it seems much more egregious
