I can understand that point of view. I numbed out a lot of pesky, bothersome emotions when I was a child. And I was a computer programmer -- some folks might consider both programmers and lawyers kind of robotic. But there can be lots of satisfaction in debate and problem-solving.
Oh, wait -- satisfaction. Isn't that one of those emotion things?
Back to another quote from Xynesthesia:

Consciousness, including our sense of self, is another fascinating area... there really is still quite little known about how it works, but it is clear that emotional processes play a role. Only one reason why artificial intelligence needs to integrate some level of emotional-type processes, otherwise it remains very limited and won't be able to interact with the external world very effectively.
