My least favorite pessimist by miles and for some strange reason, the only pessimist not chased out of the room in polite discussion.
Make it make sense.

Does he mean that an insect's tragedy would overtake ours in the sense that an insect suffers more than we do?
Anyway it made me think: suppose there are higher conscious beings in existence (higher in the evolutionary ladder in the same sense we are to hens, for example), than I guess those beings' tragedies would be a lot more tragic than ours as they should be more sensitive. In this case an insect's tragedy is whatever compared to ours - and since we are on 4chan: I still think the average anon suffers more than the average starving African child.

It's a humoristic quote. Obviously insects aren't gifted with consciousness and can't really feel pain the way we do but it would be funny to imagine a man devastated by the loss of a close one one or because of love and then you have this insect guy on his shoulder comforting him by explaining his own problems like >>25460520 said.

I think there's a Calvin&Hobbes comic comparing girls and insects - they're both blissfully unaware of the joke played on them by the universe.
>>25461971
Voltaire asked that to a woman, who answered that our ability to suffer is proportionate to our ability to think - a peasant can suffer as much as a philosopher but not for the same reason and the philosopher would be incorrect to dismiss the suffering of the peasant on the sole basis the he could cope with it.
