Earlier in the week I proposed a line of thinking that the brain becomes addicted to the adrenalin and uses the pain process to obtain it.
There was a long discussion of the idea. You wrote: "I read, studied, digested and re-read all this discussion on the feel-good reason for extreme pain and I've come to the conclusion that Q has started the longest line of BS that this site has ever seen. Can we move on now? " And the discussion ended on your command.
Now I see you admit the narcotic effect of brain chemicals. Do you care to discuss the idea that the brain may seek the narcotic-effect and use the pain-process as the mechanism to achieve that goal?
