    I definitely like discussing and thinking about this, but my premise is that pain, or at least some unpleasant sensation, does occur as a response to negative stimuli.

    Plants show a response to negative stimuli, therefore maybe they feel some kind of unpleasant sensation.

    Bringing rocks into it doesn't jive with either of our definitions of pain and is being a bit ludicrous.

      The point I'm making is that pain happens in the brain. No brain no pain. If you bring plants into it, you disconnect pain from the brain and get into the realm of "ok, maybe pain is just magic"
