Suffering is the state of being aware that things should be better than they are. Which is why legal cases are often settled on a basis of "pain and suffering" as two different entities.
Then why go to all the bother of being a dictator?

Surely the natural state of a contented man is to do nothing?
And when you have had enough to eat and drink, and know where the next meal is coming from you are contented and therefore have no need to do anything.

Two dimensions of the problem are emphasized.

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today they are focusing on the ethical theory of moral relativism.Moral relativism is the idea that all of morality is relative, there are no objective moral truths. A moral relativist would therefore believe that the rightness or wrongness of an action is completely relative to the time, society or culture it takes place in. This video analyses the strengths of moral relativism as an ethical theory as well as the challenges.
It implicitly assumed that humanity is the only known conscious entities in the universe. It seems to ignore the possibility of other yet unknown consciousness, such as aliens, trans-humans, and AGI.
dogs, cats, octopi.....Humans are arguably the most stupid of known conscious entities, but we are not alone in the universe, or even on this planet.
How do you define stupid?

Any human who asserts some kind of authority without demonstrating relevant merit. All priests, all philosophers, and most politicians.
Every day we make choices that have the potential to change the course of our lives. But, we almost never stop and think about how to get better at making these choices.
