"I don't think I'm supposed to adjust to it. I think I'm supposed to do what I can for this world and then move on. Or, no, supposed to isn't the right term. If you present me with this thought experiment, my choice is that I do what I can for the world, without taking a position on the aliens' bizarre ways, one way or another, because I do not understand the aliens' minds. And in the absence of that understanding, Reality is prettier when aliens don't try to impose their ways on each other, all else being equal. I wouldn't want you imposing submission and masochism on a human population. And the sapients here are saying they want this, that everything's great, and having only themselves tortured - as individuals, not as a species, it would not be okay if you were torturing other Eclipsers who didn't like that. But you say you like being the way you are, as individuals, not just as a species, and yes, that does matter. Fine. Lovely thought experiment, whoever set it up. You've successfully induced moral dumbfounding in me and forced me into falling helplessly back on the null action even though inaction isn't actually privileged in any way. But I do not want to live here, and I hope that my next world is better than this."
