A more controllable damage signaling system would be great. People are working on it.

Everyone who's ever tried to make a pleasurable drug for 1-damage.

Everything that's not damage, if signaled as a reward stimuli like pleasure, would work!

As a policy (Updateless decision theory), only respond to positive reinforcement and disassociate from pain. I hypothesize that pain asymbolia is trainable. Then you wield a vorpal blade.
