You are mixing numbers and percents. 1B people and 100 hurt vs 1K people and 100 hurt vs 100 people and 100 hurt.

Is it better to have lived as an individual one of these fictional cohorts? Is it better for the group in the same or different one?

Is it better to live and suffer than to not live?

I think the answers are obvious.

Do those 100 hurt out of 1B experience less pain than 100 out of 100?
