For me, I want to erase all kind of violence.
And you...

I doubt he would be a gangster then would he?


Let me give you an example. You see a flower as beautiful, correct? Now if someone offered you a hundred thousand dollars to kill the flower, many people would. Same thing with the gangster.

There's beauty in everything if you look long enough, hope, love, it's enough to make you euphoric.


Good luck finding beauty in the ant dieing in my garbage can. Good luck finding beauty in the millions of microorganisms that you kill every move.

So let's go back to the sentient beings thing. where neither of your points fit.

He's a sociopath


Sometimes I think so, though I do not show all of the symptoms. If anything, my lesser emotions are self imposed. As stated before they are useless things.

pain can be an emotion if you have no emotions then theoretically you will feel no psychological paine


Pain is physical reaction of the nerves to warn you that your body is being damaged. To say it was an emotion would be the same as saying heat is an emotion or cold is an emotion.

No; they are you and that would logically follow that your worthless?

Physical pain yes but not mental or emotional pain which is just as real.

What use do they have?

While I am stating the negative, they impair your ability to do things like kill, as samy has shown. A soldier is a lot better without emotions. Sadness also has an impairing ability, as well as being negative to feel.

So let's go back to the sentient beings thing. where neither of your points fit.


True, if they did not want to kill us then they would not kill us. But we could easily

A. Fight back
B. Fit there need for something, making us live

Last I checked I was flesh and blood, not neural impulses.

But far less harmful. And well, less real to. A psychologist could probably illuminate them. By this you mean something like your wife divorcing you, correct? Aw well, that is another negative thing.

Psychological paine can be brought forth as a state of emotional change while imagining any past or future events that cause discomfort of the mind. If you are to be stabbed you can imagine it will hurt, if someone spontaneously tries to stab you, are you to avoid in fear of paine or the thought of feeling paine.

It sounds more like flashbacks, I still think they are speaking of something like break ups or something to that effect. (?)

What? Why is it that when you have a point it's always the most extreme form of something but when I do it's the most mundane thing possible?

Mental and emotional pain is just as real as physical pain and can be much, much worse.

Did you check with neural impulses?

If none of us felt pain, we would all probably be dead by now through lack of having proper warnings against dangerous actions... Like some kid without neural receptors for pain in his hands chewing off his fingers and dying of blood loss.

Hypocrisy.
I am not bold enough to erase stupidity...
But hypocrisy is one of the things that can drive me berserk.

i would erase all hatred in the world, if everyone liked each other there would be loads less war or it would just stop war completely. It would also make the world a happier place and make everyone live happier better lives.
