@tapasoflife I agree. We cant get rid of emotion entirely. I don't mean to imply that they have no value at all. But I think that a lot of people put too much emphasis on emotion in that they consider it over data even if it is contradicting.
It would be fine if our irrationality always supported our rationality but it doesn't and can counter it at time. Maybe you and I have a stronger rational core than others but as a whole humanity isn't built that way. That's what worries me.

@AndrzejWLipski reducing emotional influence is a great goal...although eliminating it altogether I do not think would be beneficial.
Even as a logical person I can't deny that I get an emotional high from solving a really hard math problem...and I also cannot deny that I get upset when I listen to people acting irrationally. Maybe its just me but my irrationality tends to support my rationality.

unfortunately emotions enforce an irrational weight to the things we value. there is a disregard of more cognitive reason which does not mean without emotion we are callous, only more thoughtful. Emotions were great when there was a lot of fear int eh world and the best response was to fight or run regardless of the level of threat. Best if we can reduce emotional influence.

Emotions are a human weakness which you will see weeded out by the technocrats of the dawning age of machines.

I think its best to think of emotions as an architecture for action choosing. People often think of the effect or feeling that emotions produce, and while this is important in human relations, I think a more dispationate view will help with AIs. When thought of this way emotions do have short commings (ex: when we're angry we tend to be angry at the world and not just the source of the problem)
