When do we get to say having emotions is emotion-normative and offensive to us emotionless robots?

:coolfish:

op do you believe that concepts like "good person" or "better person" aren't subjective and have essential defining traits? if so, why are high levels of empathy and emotion among those traits?

like if human suffering was something that could be objectively measured and quantified, and everyone being uber-rational detached emotionless robots was actually shown to reduce the total amount of that suffering and create better living conditions, would you still argue against it because it doesn't match your idea of how people are supposed to be? :spergin:
