Hello all,
In this post I dare you to try this challenge. Go 3 days without making any decisions based on emotions. Everything you do must be made on the logical conclusion that it is the most beneficial thing for you to do. You must choose food best suited for your diet. Fill your time with activities that will best help you succeed. Finally conversations you have with other must lead to beneficial relationships and outcomes. You must not act in rage, lust, sadness, humor, etc but may mimic it if this creates desired outcome with individuals. So i challenge you to make it 3 days, remove the shackles that endorphins have put upon your brain and embrace your inner robot. If you succeed you will forever be able to through spock in rock paper scissors. IF you fail the challenge but at least attempt it you may now throw lizard.

It would be impossible. Especially eating. Even just picking out food would require some level of emotion. Eat something you like, and your body will release endorphins. Eat something bland that you don't like, then your brain will be producing a negative emotion.
I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.

Emotions come from logic(operations) so you can't actually separate the two concepts completely. But if i'm forced to separate them then i'd say that emotions are more about guessing the truth value of a 'qualitative' issue, such as how good a song is, how attractive a person is, how morally fair is someones behavior toward you, etc. Where as what we refer to as cold and calculating logic is what we want when we're engaged in a 'quantitative' activity. We shouldn't see logic or emotion as a right vs wrong form of decision making, but instead we should try to recognize each one's limitation when it comes to addressing something in the opposite domain.

Also about this, the "most beneficial thing" implies a form of utilitarianism, which is bad because creating a criteria for the "most beneficial thing" is subjective and won't remain constant over time. Instead it should be something closer to negative utilitarianism, which is about the reduction of problems, such as suffering. As opposed to maximizing a positive utility.Everything you do must be made on the logical conclusion that it is the most beneficial thing for you to do.

Your assumption is that everyone likes food and eating, I happen to like neither (this poses a major problem for me since I'm underweight). I already choose food under that general criteria, though emotion factors into deciding how much prep work and cleanup I'm willing to deal with when deciding what to eat. Originally Posted by Piglord

Again though you're purely focusing on quantitative issues like calories and nutrition. If you only eat food like Chia seeds(high protein but slimy) and wheat grass juice that will be very healthy but it's disgusting and makes life not worth living. The most beneficial thing for people isn't purely quantitative but is also what helps people emotionally. Originally Posted by shammypie

No, namely because the people claiming to be the most logical are almost always either cringe edgelords or idiots.
Or both.

We're experts at rationalizing any and all sorts of reasoning. It would be hard.

id need an app for that. like i input a decision and the app will tell me if its a legal move as a rational person or if it is illegal due to it being emotional. i also ask why the op equates rational behavior with selfish behavior. i would guess the op is a luciferian. worship of the fallen angel lucifer is about enlightenment and maximizing your own potential. (as opposed to christianity which teaches humility and kindness to all leads to creating true paradise)

TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
