    Crowd Science on BBC World Service today is about pain.

    How can I beat pain?

    CrowdScience

    We all feel pain on a regular basis; when we stub a toe, break a bone or even experience heartbreak. Bebeto from Cameroon wants to know how to cope with a pain in his wrist that just won’t go away. Does a positive mindset help? Or perhaps meditation? Marnie Chesterton speaks to psychologists and neuroscientists to find the answers.

    We hear from two people with very different experiences of pain. Lucy has fibromyalgia and experiences pain all over her body every day. While Stephen has a rare genetic condition which means he doesn’t feel physical pain at all. But they both argue that pain shouldn’t always be unwanted. Perhaps we need to embrace and accept our pain in order to beat it.

    That kind of talk is as dumb as someone saying they could go through waterboarding like it's nothing because it doesn't cause physical damage.

    Ridiculous just-world fallacy crap.

    I agree - there is a lot of crap in there! I'm going to listen anyway.
