I’ve never thought or said that were asking people to be soulless or that you think people should become unfeeling machines or anything like that - a person doesn’t need to go that far. All we need to do is trick ourselves into believing that we’re making a decision based on logic and reason rather than emotions and passions, and that’s easy to do.

By the way, just to clear the air, I’m not really trying or intending to argue with you or anything, I’m just expanding on your ideas and sharing my own thoughts. I’m not the person downvoting your comments, either, for whatever that’s worth.

Thank you for the discussion, I appreciate your thoughts, you seem like a decent person.
