it sounds like you discount basic human intelligence, really.

there are better reasons relating to disease if you want to argue in favour of having pain.

There's a reason people with the genetic disorder of not feeling any pain don't last long. If they don't know what pain is, they cannot learn the necessity to avoid it. It has barely nothing to do with basic human intelligence. They either need to live in a completely sheltered life or is completely obedient and remember what something is painful even though they have no idea what pain is. That's asking more than a lot than basic intelligence.

my point still stands.

i can tell someone that a cut can lead to blood loss or infection if they can't feel pain. i can't tell them about how to recognise a headache or a stomach cramp.

Nope pain is there for a reason. What I don't want is a world of extremes, like pain all the time (fibromyalgia-ish) or no pain at all (numb and unfeeling).

No. But look:

Everyone saying "pain makes me feel alive" is an idiot.

Everyone saying that wants to live a life without feeling any pain probably didn't spend a single minute thinking about it as well. I have seen some documentaries about people that can't feel anything (you can't simply not feel pain, you must not feel ANYTHING at all, losing tact) and it is terrible. The girl said she needs an alarm clock to tell her when to go to the bathroom. She needs to do a check-up everytime she wakes up. Going to the medic every week. It is a terrible life. We need pain. While some people think that pain is an enemy, it is actually our ally; it warns us about something that is harming our body.

Now, if I had the option to choose a life where there would be no CONDITIONS where I would feel pain, then I would take it. But losing tact is not interesting for me.

Both, yes and no. Pain is a pain in the ass. It's difficult to do shit when something's hurting... but that same hurting also tells me that something is wrong and allows me to take measures to keep it from getting hurt anymore. As big a pain that feeling pain is, it's still a necessity as it is a signal from the brain that something's wrong with your body.

The fact this article mentions: "They constantly have to be inspected to make sure that nothing is bleeding or otherwise wrong." indicates their "basic intelligence" is not sufficient. It makes the implication that someone else need to observe blood loss because we can't expect the child's "basic intelligence" to understand that blood loss is an issue.

tl;dr My point is that a person's physical experience (ie pain) will make it perfectly clear why blood loss is dangerous. I'm not saying they're stupid or lacks basic intelligence, but even telling them how blood loss -> death will be an abstract concept for them. When it comes to concepts that's alien and abstract to them, it should require more than basic intelligence to understand. This is especially important when it comes to teaching children, as well.

Well maybe they did not feel like explaining, I can assure you that pain makes me feel alive, it really isn't easy to explain for me at least but trully it's just something that when you are deep down in slums feel. Sometimes pain can be the only thing that you can feel ( this sounds so fucking depressing).

hey, get this: have you considered that there are part of your body you can't check visually? unless you can properly contort yourself, of course you are going to need to be checked constantly.

besides, death is an abstract concept for a child regardless. that's exactly why you educate them about what actions will result in such consequences, regardless of if they have the condition or not. you can't argue the intelligence of a child when we were just talking about people in general.

people who cannot feel pain die because of basic diseases and illnesses we can easily spot, not physical wounds. can you show me otherwise?

It's difficult to count it when people's actions harm themselves or others, regardless of basic human intelligence. You know? Removing the ability to feel pain would only lead to people acting more reckless, since intelligence alone surely is not enough to deter people from harming themselves.

To OP: Emotional pain is real pain

Well, if you mean going through life without physical pain...physical pain usually alerts us that something is wrong, so no. But if I could go through life without getting injured, or sick, or getting arthritis or something (being absurdly healthy), then sure I guess.

Why do you think we experience pain the the first place? It's a signal that lets us know there is a problem. If I didn't feel pain I would not realize if something inside my body was going wrong. If I couldn't feel pain, I may put my hand on something hot and damage my skin.

I doubt many besides the exempt few want to experience pain. However without it things would be worse.

Personally I wish after I figured out what was wrong with my body and fixed the problem I could tell my brain "all is well shut down pain receptors". That would be nice.

Somehow pain makes us human. Also it helps us making life changing decisions. So I guess it's important.

There's no such thing as a painless lesson.
They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary.
You can't gain anything without losing something first.
Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it,
you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle.
Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.

hey, get this: have you considered that there are part of your body you can't check visually? unless you can properly contort yourself, of course you are going to need to be checked constantly.

these people have a serious problem, this doesn't mean they're stupid. besides: how can you contradict yourself by going from asserting they lack basic intelligence to saying they're not stupid? that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. the article isn't in line with any of your comments as the article concludes the exact opposite to what you conclude - you can't cherrypick evidence and say it supports you because of that.

besides, death is an abstract concept for a child regardless. that's exactly why you educate them about what actions will result in such consequences, regardless of if they have the condition or not. you can't argue the intelligence of a child when we were just talking about people in general.

people who cannot feel pain die because of basic diseases and illnesses we can easily spot, not physical wounds. can you show me otherwise?

I think we have a communication barrier here. I didn't say they lack basic intelligence nor did I say they were stupid. Also the article do support some of my statements rather than contradicting everything I've said. Either way, I don't think this is going anywhere so I'll drop it.

lol, whatever you say man.

'communication barrier.'

This is a clear indication of the language barrier. These two statements are not contradictory. Saying their "basic intelligence" is not sufficient does not mean "they're stupid" or they "lack basic intelligence". It means they need more than basic intelligence which I added by saying physical experience is important. Keep in mind when I say communication barrier I also mean that I myself might have not explained what I said well enough for there to be miscommunication. Don't take it the wrong way.

If you didn't feel pain, you'd get injured all the time without realizing it, and it would get infected cause you didn't wash it, and you'd get sick all the time. I'd rather take the momentary pain that's actually a useful message.

I ain't no loli, but feel free to lick my feet. I used to when I was 6, so it'd be nice to have someone else do it for a change :3

1) Pain is the body's method of alarming you to hazards. I'd very much keep.

2) I have a pain fetish. Very much keep.

But no pain, means... no feels!

Double edged sword really, but I think we definitely need pain.

It's a part of life. That's all there is to it.

As well you should be my friend, for the mystical laws which govern the internet do profess that "Should another user ever learn your true identity, they need only chant it thrice aloud when the moon is three quarters full, and the forbidden Gate of Solomon shall open before them granting them access to your most sacred of havens, the place where you rest your head at nightfall."
