Forums - General - Are emotions really important?

Of course, emotions are one of the things which makes us human - but it is also one of our biggest weaknesses.

I reckon that we could get much more accomplished if there was a way to disable emotions. Obviously removing them perminantly would probably be a bad idea, but could there be some way that we could alter the brain so that it won't create these emotions for a relatively short period of time?

A good plan? Is it even possible?

I don't believe .that's possible



i don't care much for emotions. they accomplish nothing



I believe all intelligent animals have emotions: dogs, apes, etc. emotions are just traits accompanied with intelligence.



Well, this might be a question for the Klingons. Somehow they were able to do it. :)

Emotions tell the difference between right and wrong. If you shut down your emotions, then the result would be what Rol said.



So you liked the movie Equilibrium too :P



i never use them, i'm a fucking boring person.



It's this kind of thinking that will doom us all.

Damn humans. So intelligent and yet...so stupid (not really referring to you OP).



So why would anything even matter without emotions? How could we tell what's important, let alone chase it?
