Yeah... that's the issue.

Once you turn off emotions, there's zero reason to ever turn them back on. What's the point of living if you're just a pure logic machine.

I'm so far from a traditionalist, I just have the intelligence to recognize that eternity is a really long time, and there are only so many experiences once can experience.

Once you can "set" options, you can also experience EVERYTHING within seconds in a sort of virtual environment, and truly experience them - not just in a visual way.

Death gives life meaning. When I was younger, I MAY have been in agreement but, as I get older, I recognize that you can't have the sweet without the sour, and I'd prefer not to live a meaningless life - which is what you get when you can "set" your mood, and personality, you end up with everyone being the same.

I'll hard pass on a Borg like future, thanks.

I'd prefer a singularity-assisted existence over being a singularity myself.
