    Why accept pain when simply cutting it off at the source and utterly ignoring the neurons in your brain that are telling you there is such a thing would result in immunity rather then your adjustment strategy?

    However the downside to both cases is the better you get then you will basically lose a sense, touch. Unless you can control it like a switch.
    Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

      You accept it because it is one of the inputs. Cutting it out means, yes, you are losing a sense. You can't form the right output. But more importantly, you are not complete.

      Experience the experience. Feel it, in fact, amplify it. It will make you richer.

        I can ignore -most- pain this way. I can't ignore being exhausted, though; It's probably a good thing as I'd likely kill myself if I could!

        But Ignorance is inferior to acceptance, I'll give that.
        Fighting wastes valuable energy and resources, it is more efficient to work with your surroundings.
        Adapting the surroundings works too, but programming yourself to be immune to pain tends to make you do dumb things.

          Meditate, control yourself and increase your energy.

            No pain no gain. Yet the game is imbalanced in favor of Yang.

              Now that I have divided the chairman's followers with this debate, I will buy them out with my gazillion energy credits. Go Morgan!

                    I don't know what you guys are talking about.

                    "Yang in a punishment sphere"? Where the heck is that? All I see are faction leaders who've been stamped under the heel of Chairman Yang and the Human Hive.

                    Glory to the Hive!!!

                        funny last time that happened the mind worms got as far as his dura mater before shrivelling up and dying. psychic resonancing revealed millions on tiny voices shouting "ACK IT'S A TRAP WE'VE BEEN POISONED THEY'VE FED US HARDCORE WEIRDASS BRAIN MATTER ACK"


                        Say what you like, but Chairman Sheng Ji Yang is a leader of a core far harder than any other faction.

                          Sorry, but both Morgan and Miriam follow their doctrines more hard-coredly than Yang does.

                            Every faction leader follows his doctrines same as the others do. There is no difference between strengths of each belief. Zak is and stays mad researcher, Yang is and stays an idi... ermm a genius. [looks frightened around for signs of Mind Police]

                              It's 50/50, though I was sure Yang emphatizers would dominate

                              Now, go forth, and thought control more followers...
