Emotions are also what makes many worlds stop entirely. It's what leads to war, crime, hate, loathing, etc etc. You eliminate emotion you of course eliminate the positives, but on the other hand you eliminate the negatives. There would be no hate, thus no crime, thus no war, thus no unnecessary death, or loss, or heartbreak, despair, etc etc.

does swing both ways. I realize you know this, but I'm making it clear to those that when thinking of emotion they think only for the positive ones. I wouldn't mind a simplified, mechanical world if it meant the negatives were no more... But if that were to ever come to be... What is defined as positive and negative? In a world without emotion those words have virtually no meanings. No one would know what "good" is or what "bad" is... So does that mean we're led into a state of chaos unknowingly since we've no idea of these two principles? Or do we fall into orderly "day-to-day" blahness of a seemingly "utopian" world? Or do we somehow end up back at where we are? No understanding or knowledge of emotion we're led astray and who's to say everyone will follow the same path? Some will go for the utopian direction (Unknowingly), while others would go for the chaos (Unknowingly) and we're right back at where we started. Either way it's a vicious cycle IMO.
