<-- The Spike | Transhumanist Terminology Index | Spontaneous Voluntarism -->
The
idea that
transhumans will eventually
evolve to the point where there is no
need or
desire for
emotion or
love.
It is considered highly unlikely because emotions and feelings are considered inherent and necessary in the decision making process; they are important for cognition. People who have had serious brain injury to make them unemotional have been found to have an extremely difficult time making decisions.
There is a greater likelihood that emotions will be developed and refined instead.
Derived from Mr. Spock from Star Trek.
