"That good?"
"That good. It's intense, all across your body. You can fill every nerve ending flaring red."
"I heard that if you burn the tip of your--"
"No. Neuropathic pain is the exact antithesis of what we're trying for. Continued neuropathic stimulation causes a pain response in the receptors, but the physical damage actually leads to the damage of the nerves themselves, desensitizing you slowly; Cutting you off from pain."
"Oh."
"Common mistake. Seriously, you don't want to be one of those cutting junkies, looking for a cheap endorphin buzz. Pain is one of the most important sensations that you can feel; it is the only sensation that actually educates and raises you up, as opposed to pleasure which dumbs you down. Pain sharpens your mind and your senses; makes you think faster, notice more, sharpens each of your senses and with that, your enjoyment of life. Pain is a goal."
"Never thought of it in that way."
"Relax, kid. Every one of us allodynia qualophiles had to be brought through the process by someone else."
"You what?"
"Ad-Q's for short. We all had someone to show how is a textural sensation, as rich and necessary as pleasure, or fear or joy. We look for nocicepathic pain, which stimulates the nerve receptors into perceiving pain without any actual damage. The more you play with it, the more sensitive those receptors become. Your nociceptive system is the fastest, most interlinked response system in your body. Once you control that, you truly control yourself. Drugs like Meatrip are a part of that training."
"So what's the goal?"
"Enlightenment, kid. If life is pain, and we are able to make ourselves one with pain, we're one with life. Now pass me those pills."

Morgan Stellartots Keynote Speech
What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.
