Скачать или смотреть You Would Die in 7 Days: Why Life Without Pain Is a Nightmare

💊 Imagine: You can stick your hand in a fire, jump from a second-story window, or drill your teeth without anesthesia. You feel invincible. But by dinner time, you realize you are bleeding to death without even knowing it. Pain is the oldest and most critical alarm system in our bodies. If we silence this siren, humanity won't become happier. We would likely go extinct within a few generations due to sheer carelessness.

In this thought experiment, we shut down our nociceptors (pain receptors) to see how quickly our world turns into a horror movie.

🔍 In this simulation:

A Morning Without Pain: You bite through your tongue during breakfast but keep chewing. You lean on a hot stove until you smell burning skin. Minor injuries accumulate instantly because you have no reflex to pull away.

The Silent Killers: Appendicitis, ulcers, or a heart attack no longer send warning signals. People would drop dead on the streets because their bodies couldn't tell them something was wrong inside.

Childhood Survival: Kids learn about the world through bumps and scrapes. Without pain, a child doesn't understand that a knife is sharp or a drop is too high. Child mortality rates would skyrocket.

The Death of Empathy: If we don't understand suffering ourselves, can we truly care about others? We risk evolving into a society of indifferent psychopaths.

🧪 The Science of CIPA: This isn't just fantasy. We explore the real-life genetic condition Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA). We share real stories of people with this diagnosis: why they have to check their own bodies for broken bones every hour and why they rarely live past age 25.

Find out why pain is actually the greatest gift evolution ever gave us—and why we should be thankful for it.

📢 Question for the Audience: If you had a button to turn off pain for just 1 hour, what would you use it for? (A tattoo? The dentist? Intense sports?) Let me know in the comments! 👇
