Would the world be better if it were like the movie Equilibrium

In the movie, a drug is created that suppresses human emotion. People no longer feel fear, grief, anger, or hatred. But they also never feel love, joy, happiness, or anything else. Would it be better for the world or just boring.

    Thats the way things are headed and already happen now. What kinda people would be if we could not feel.

    Robots don't feel we would essentially become like them.

    There is no way I am doing that. They already do this anyways. And there are soft kill drugs in them so when you get old enough you die.

    Population control is a marvelous idea.

    Thats the most horrid thing to say.
    Lets neuter you and hop you up on pills and tell you what you can and can't do.
    Sounds like a filling life...

    I plan on getting a vasectomy as soon as I can afford it.

    im glad. Are you going to be taking the pills too? You should since you want it to happen so bad. Live by example
  • Heavy Magical... 2012/06/17 21:43:54

    No I already know how I'm going to die so no point taking the pills. I won't live long enough for them to work.

    The world is already that way. Problems in the world have nothing to do with emotion, it's ,as that usually say, just buissness. People do what they do because they never think how others might feel, like when they cut down rainforests, or steal, or cause wars. The world would be better if there was emotion.

    Ok you make a good point but it was a little contradictory. You say no one has emotion but if that were true then it wouldn't matter if someone stole or if people cut down the rainforest because no one would feel anything about it. Also, greed and envy are the main causes of war alongside of hatred.

    But greed isn't an emotion. I know things like envy are reasons for our world sucking, but there are people who try to stop that. Why? Because they feel empathy. If there was no emotion, there will still be greed and evil, but no one would care to sop it.
  • Heavy Tentime... 2012/06/15 19:26:04

    Greed is an emotion, it comes from envy and anger and jealousy. Evil all comes from emotion. So does good. Without emotion everything would be neutral.

    No, see, greed is caused by emotion, it itself isn't an emotion.
    If we didn't have emotions, we would be like robots, okay we've clarified that. And if the world was run by robots, then it would be much better, right? But robots are programmed to know things and not forget them, they can figure things out on their own (super intelligence). Humans arn't like that, they have a limited knowledge, with emotion or without. They'll still screw up, probably a lot more than they do now, because they need emotions to differentiate between right and wrong, Robots do not. So if the world was run by robots it would be an improvement, but humans without emotions arnt robots.
    To be like robots, humans have to understand how everything works. That way they can figure out how to solve problems. Plus a human's life time isn't very long, so whenever they do die they would have to learn everything all over again (and that would take a while).

    What's the point of living if you can't be happy?

    That's the same question they asked in the movie. Have you seen it?

    With less emotion there's no real motivation to do anything. I think everyone would just become lazy bums and waste away.

    Yeah that was my first thought too. Without motivation through feeling no one would do anything
