Do you control what you believe?

[Darkstar]

Even if we could take total control of our brain's many functions, it is questionable whether that would be a life worth living or whether you could actually perform as well within the limits of the conscious mind as you're able to from the totality of your mind.

I never argued it would be a good thing, and those were rhetorical questions illustrating the involuntary. Actually, the whim is really based on emotion, and a small amount of it is applied to answer questions without absolutely concrete answers.
Man with literally no emotions has severely impaired descision making abilities as a result.
