I respectfully propose a clarification: to me, rather than simply being capable of being used for that purpose, from conception, the default role and purpose of pain and pleasure seems be to incentivize and dis-incentivize specific behavior. The extent to which experience might revise the pain/pleasure-to-behavior relationship seems to constitute another matter. Might you agree?
