Do you think we could use nanotechnology to essentially "widdle" the brain down to a more ideal form i.e. removing emotions like pain, boredom, sadness, depression, and anger. If we could move away from these necessary evils with rational thinking, life could be more bearable.

Nah do it like the vulcans, get rid of emotions with culture.
If you accept the possibility of lost of emmotions, it would be better to just create a self-replicating and self-reparating AI to substitute the human species. The problem is that humans are only motivated to progress and knowledge due to curiosity, wich is emmotional. But I don't personally think it is bad to gradually substitute the human species with machines, we just need to make them in a way that they keep looking for progress and self-preservation.

nigga I aint trying to die if living forever in peace is an option
What's the point of doing anything if you don't have feelings ?
>>8319998
"widdle"? really? you want a really "widdle" brain? I am not sure this word means what you think it means.
>>8319998
I like my emotions. I don't mind getting rid of boredom however, Anon.
Believe it or not sometimes the most rational of thinking isn't the best.

You my brother Anon. But living forever in this universe will take awhile, and we got to take this all one step at a time (Which we currently have a lot to use to set up forever)

What difference does progressing or not progessing make? It's absurd to imply progress is a worthwhile goal in itself.

What's the point in everything if we're just random agglomerates of atoms that think they have free will. The Universe is just the expression of fundamental mathematical laws. Nothing can't change them. We're just machines, we just don't want to realize it.

I meant like stick widdling so metaphorically speaking I just meant editing out neurotransmitters that are associated with bad hormones to have a brain that is finely tuned to the needs of the individual. This is just a hypothesis of sorts.

Shut the fuck up and stop misinterpreting the inventions of man as universal law. People always think they have it all figured out...

Pretty sure it's the other way around, mathematics were invented to better understand the world around us.
