Sorry, objective "research" never gives answers to subjective problems like whether or not we should have emotions. Things like that are usually opinion (read: emotions) held by idiots like you who make sweeping judgments based on their own limited, shitty experiences with life.

Sucks that your biggest aspiration must be to be a machine.

Humans seem to be advancing so that they can relieve suffering (or at least standardize it) and experience a life more abundant with the emotion of enjoyment.

Pure pragmatists like you only want things to do and be done over and over again for no discernible reason.

Reason depends on emotion. If there are no emotions to be satisfied, then life is kinda dull. You want to kiss the emotion of curiosity bye-bye? Then no more science. Science is done to satisfy the human emotion of curiosity, regardless of how dry or objective it seems, the very basis of its existence is to satisfy people.

How about love? Hate? Preferences of any kind?

What robotic, reptilian sociopaths like you fail to realize is that emotions are necessary for progress because decision-making, which is inherently biased, is necessary for progress.

As for the "it's all good" statement, you know damn well what I meant. Stop taking casual conversation literally and pull the stick out of your ass.

Where's your research, cowboy?

Not everyone can afford to make an academic paper every fucking time they want to speak to another human being.

Get over your robotic attitude towards life, be a human being for a second, and LISTEN.

I'm talking about elitists like you who try to silence everyone immediately like this.

You still don't get it. You're taking my use of the term "dimension" so literally, belittling my entire argument because I used it in more of a metaphysical, identifiable, easily-understandable, practical way, which basically adds to my point that thinking exclusively on the terms of math and science are dehumanizing and just not worth it.

You end up with all this information that you take so seriously, but nothing to do with it. You don't understand the value of human intuition; being able to feel around and explain, in a way completely understandable by the layman, what is going on without all the terminology and meticulous stuff.

I understand that math can theoretically describe these things.

But that's it, they can only describe. A long string of mathematical equations and relations outlining how each atom in two human bodies move and interact as the two humans make love would encompass millions of pages and certainly wouldn't hold a candle to actually doing it.

There's a time and a place for everything. EVERYTHING has value when used correctly. It's all good.

My point was is that the dismissive, pretentious attitudes of all these little students who want to assure themselves that they picked the "right" major (when they don't even realize that there isn't a right or wrong one because they don't dare consider the philosophical implications of the things they say) are cheating themselves out of being not only the smartest people they can be, but they're cheating themselves out of a life worth talking about.
