There is pretty clear evidence from neuroscience that pain has a significant emotional component. The evolutionary benefit is to having an emotional component is that it makes it less likely that the animal will try to override the pain.
- wavepruner 7y agoYes I agree with that theory, but I don't see how that proves that pain is completely decoupled from physical damage, and just randomly happens to some people solely because they are upset or "disturbed".
- cpncrunch 7y agoI never said that.
