the logic of a king

“make new instruments of non-compassion” If we don’t they are going to revolt. This last situation is a key example of the need to push the research farther. The mayor was killed, the hostages all died-sept for the man who had a heart attack and woke up after the terrorists left. We need to harness the power to fuse the brain’s parts that use emotion with the logic part so that people make decisions based on logic and not emotion.
“But if we eliminate all emotion, then what will people live for?”
“What do I care? If I don’t have any emotions, I won’t care why anyone else lives except for how it allows my life to sustain itself. All we would need would be to keep living and watch how society becomes a haven without terrorists, violence, over indulgences and the like.
“Yeah, but how do you know that it would not be logical for someone to kill off a large section of the population because it would enable the rest to live more comfortably. And what is comfort anyway if we don’t have any emotions? Why would we care about living if we didn’t have emotions? If we didn’t have emotions, I still don’t understand what the point of living would be?”
“You have a point, but maybe we could have a certain higher class that is allowed to keep their emotions so that there is a point, but only for those in power.”
“But don’t we get back to the problem of violence and over indulgence. In this case it is with the leaders and not the common person, but wouldn’t that be worse, since the common people would be like slaves to their king?”
