Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion—a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive; knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn : they could not benefit from experience because this emotionlessness would lack rewards and punishments. Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist; in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, bonds among members of groups; society’s economic underpinnings would be destroyed; since earning $ 10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $ 10, there would be no incentive to work.
选项
答案
想象一下一个突然没有了情感的世界——一个人类感受不到关爱或幸福的世界,一个没有恐怖或仇恨的世界。尽量想象一下这种变化的结果。人们可能不再有生气:他们既不懂得欢乐,又不理解娱乐;既不了解焦急,又不知道惧怕;他们很可能反复做伤害他们自己的事,就像他们反复做有利于他们自己的事一样。他们不会学习:他们不能从经验中获益,因为这个没有情感的世界缺乏奖赏和处罚机制。社会将很快消失:人们将彼此伤害,就像彼此提供帮助和支持一样。人类的关系将不复存在:在一个没有朋友或敌人的世界里,同伴中不可能有婚姻、爱情,群体成员中不可能有联系;社会的经济支柱将会被摧毁:因为挣一千万美元不会比挣10美元更令人愉快,所以就会缺少工作的动力。
