>Pain is a signal that our actions and general life processes are not correct, and we ought to fix them
>It's another "evolutionary biology is perfect and always does eveything to personally help you be better off in all situations" episode
It's bad to have zero sense of pain. Kids with congenital insensitivity to pain frequently end up gouging an eye out, losing fingers, biting off the tip of their tongue, etc.
That's not the same as being a normal person who can feel pain and undergoing training later in life to be better at tolerating it. Those monks don't accidentally lose bosy parts because they're oblivious to pain. They're still aware of pain and are just a bit better at living with it.
And no, mild aches and pains aren't guaranteed to always be some indication you need to change how you're living. Active people just get that sometimes. If people always stopped what they were doing at the first sign of pain then nobody would ever lift and build muscle.

Imagine not being able to enjoy a hot dog from your local Sonic Drive-In. You're both mentally ill, and also fuck off to whichever of you two switched from insisting I was a vegan over to getting upset I ate a hotdog. Pick a complaint ffs.

>the second step makes no sense, what the fuck is going on?
OP took a property of addition and tried to apply it to multiplication.
You can use the distributive property of addition to do similar looking shit like
(5+5) = 5(1+1)
But just because something looks similar in mathematical expressions doesn't mean it'll actually make sense or work.
A lot like how kids learning about arithmetic with fractions will often try doing something like
2/3 + 5/6 = 7/9
Because it seems like you should be able to just add the top numbers and add the bottom numbers. Intuition doesn't always match reality.

>mysterious separate realm of the "physical"
One person sees something.
Two people hear corroborating sounds.
A diagnostic machine records information on it.
An abstract mathematial model makes predictions that agree with its existence.
Unlike with a dream where consciousness genuinely is the only thing happening, physical objects have consistency and persistence to them. In a dream nothing has any necessary adherence to logical consistency, but in reality your actions have lasting consequences regardless of how much you're personally paying attention to them. If you drop out and try to replace reality with substance abuse the physical world will keep track of everything for you whether you want it to or not.
