Do you mean there was a point in our history when emotions were essential? Or do you in fact believe this statement is an accurate description of that time.But i would have needed it back when lions and mammoths existed as i would have no other way to determine the seriousness of a situation. — Kinglord1090
It's possible you may be confusing objective truth with a rapidly produced opinion.I have been using measures from correct sources and objective truth. — Kinglord1090
That is how debates/discussions work, so I dont see anything wrong in this. — Kinglord1090
And thats why we should get rid of them. — Kinglord1090
that important part isnt enough to compete with eternal peace. — Kinglord1090
would you rather live in a world with murder and crimes instead of choosing peace? — Kinglord1090
2) Live in a world with eternal peace, but no way of being happy.
My choice is clearly the second world.
I dont want to see anyone suffer. — Kinglord1090
Why do you think the word would be at peace without emotions ? Give me an example fromI dont even understand what you are talking about anymore — Kinglord1090
Ok, give me 1 reason on how a life without emotions wouldnt be peaceful, and if i am not able to solve it logically, i would accept that emotions are necessary. — Kinglord1090

1) Here is more proof that emotions were built for survival. — Kinglord1090
Do you notice how your argument changed slightly in order for it to escape criticism. We do it naturally all the time to rationalize that we haven't made a mistake. The brain is full of so many little tricks. How about this as our number 1.1. Emotions were completely necessary for pre-history human survival. — Cheshire
Who says emotions and body are one and the same?
Do you have any scientific proof or sources to back your claims?
Animals were never born with emotions to begin with.
We go through surgeries to remove appendix and wisdom teeth as they are vestigial.
Why can't we do the same with emotions, then?
Also, we are talking about a hypothetical here.
Which means we don't have to think how it is done before we know if it will even be a good choice or not.
How can you say its not worth it?
A bit of pain for infinite peace.
Or would you like to see war and murders happening as long as you get to live without pain?
No matter how you look at it, the second option is the most logical option.
Also, emotions are at play here because the reason people choose not to do anything is because they dont want to feel guilty. And guilt is an emotion. — Kinglord1090
I have often thought about existential thoughts and meaning of life, .etc.
I believe that emotions have become unnecessary in this modern world, and that the future doesn't need it anymore. — Kinglord1090
