How are you so sure you don’t need to hear the message suffering was sending you?
Because suffering isn’t a raw sensory input. It’s downstream of raw sensory inputs. I still get the raw sensory inputs.
Why do you believe that only raw sensory inputs are adaptive or have some evolved function? That seems extremely improbable—indeed, it contradicts large swaths of what we know from evolutionary psychology.
Of course not. Lots of neural action beyond raw sensory inputs has a raw function.
