I fail to see the humour in this. Uncontrolled emotions often lead to illogical thought processes and behaviour. Illogical behaviour is at best suboptimal or counterproductive, and at worst outright destructive. While metaphorically beating one's emotions into submission might sound odd to most humanoids inhabiting this planet, it is necessary due to our brain's functioning and our current inability to change or improve upon it.

τλ;δρ emotions are shit, rationality must prevail.

I never stated that the "goodness" metric cannot account for the personal happiness of oneself and that of others. My statement is simply that in the process of decision-making, given a particular "goodness" metric which may include happiness and emotions and whatever, the most optimal solution will always be the one dictated purely by logic.

Disregarding emotions when one's own brain constitution is dependent on them is obviously illogical, and I never suggested otherwise.
