Even if you accept the premise that dust and torture can be measured on the same scale of suffering, the logic STILL doesn't hold.

Compare: 6 billion people all get a speck of dust in the eye worth 1 Sufferbuck each, or 1 person gets an atomic wedgie worth 6 Billion Sufferbucks. Even if you accept the utilitarian premise, they're STILL not equal! Just keep following the dumbass logic. It takes a person 1 Chilltime to recover from 1 Sufferbuck of trauma. That means 1 Chilltime from now, all 6 billion people will be at 0 Sufferbucks. On the other hand, in 1 Chilltime, the Bayesian Martyr still has 6 billion minus 1 Sufferbucks. So even in Yudkowsky's own bizarro worldview, he's an rear end in a top hat.
