Hey sci/ should I crush all emotions and become a logical being?

>> No.2573334

having emotions IS logical

>> No.2573339

you can try

but you will fail.

i was thinking this today as i was playing a game and got really angry i just wondered why i was getting angry and why even though i was thinking to myself calm down i couldnt.

eventually your logic will fail and you will find yourself really upset over somthing.

you cant supress emotion for too long its like a pessure cooker if you dont let it oout its gonna explode.

Vulcans have emotions. The goal is to control your emotions rather than let emotions control yourself.

>> No.2573359

the whole point of trolling is to stupefy people until they rage

you can just learn to brush it off but in real life people have physical ways of crushing your logic until you rage,

its whats called manipulation.

people try to control thier ability to be manipulated but usually end up not being able to especially if they are being manipulated at certain levels.

Emotions are important for grounding interpretations and views in ethics. Without emotions you have no concept of something being "good" or something being "bad".

Sure. But then you'll go back.

you don't 'suppress' emotions, you just modify your instinctual emotional response into a more productive and desirable response.

i've thought about this for a while. and a eventually came to the conclusion that we have evolved to have emotions. It's like our brain's way of self-disciplining itself. Without emotions you wouldn't even be motivated be a "logical being". It also helps you not become a serial killer.

you'll have no reason to exist without emotions
think about it...

mfw first AI is more emotional than humans

That is sort of stupid logic. Firstly, I don't mean totally get rid of emotions, more like 99% is logic and 1% is emotions.

But, we have evolved to such an extent that I think emotions aren't needed.

Certainly, I'm depressed as fuck most of the time. Can't study because can't concentrate. Feel lonely and unproductive.

However, I know if I got rid of emotions, become vulcan could do lots.

What the hell? Emotions ain't a cup you can just empty like that, emotions are expressions of your desires and goals, they're acts that's centered around specific objects.

Are you angry? That's a way to saying there's something wrong with the world. In love? It's an emotion that's focused on a target. And so on. The only emotion that doesn't fit this description is angst.

emotions = programmed into you mind through DNA and society

Be a programmer and comment out the parts of your coding you don't like.

Your emotions developed first, around reptilian times (in the scale of evolution).
Intelligence (with memory: neocortex/thalamus) only developed in mammalians, and our intelligence comes from there.
If you were to remove all emotions, you would be left without goals (emotions are merely biases/goals evolution as programmed into us (through adaptations) that allow us to survive and reproduce).

Lol I'm full of emptiness and angst. More angst because I see myself as imperfect.

I would want to exercise and study most of the day. However, my emotions are telling me I'm too tired or that depressed feeling is making me not want to do stuff.

So just sit around most days.

Don't feel love anymore, like haven't been attracted to a girl I know in years. Which, is bad because I started to concentrate in school because I wanted to move up to top sets because a girl I was in love with was in all top sets. That was seven years ago and now she is fat and ugly.

Don't get angry because during my youth I used to get in fights, got expelled for a week. My mum started crying in the car saying she failed. That stop all my anger.

So now the only emotion I have is depression and stress that I'm imperfect.

>> No.2573552

>>2573483

My emotional reason of why I study and exercise or even socialise have gone long ago.

I know I can replace them with the need for truth and curiosity. Curiosity could replace emotions as the goal. Also, some sort of idealism like being perfect or understanding everything.
