Clearly false. No one experiences pain after they form a concept of pain. Pain is the experience itself - primal and unmediated.

Of what is consciousness an illusion? Again you engage in self-refutation. You cannot think consciousness is an illusion without consciously thinking about it.

Pain is information, it is what the brain tells us to feel given certain stimli. There are people who can't feel pain.

Interestingly they can still feel touch.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
