Oh boy, more specious arguments. Keep swinging for the fences, kid, eventually you'll stop hitting your own shins.

It is a very simple argument, sorry you can't grasp it. Emotions are useless outside of keeping you alive, I know all the gingersnaps out there love to go on and on about how important they are, but they are not.

If i hurt your feelings with anything I said...

Personally I'd consider keeping oneself alive is a rather important task, but that's just me.

Emotions are a direct result of hormones being released in response to stimulus. Life without hormones, on top of being impossible, would leave you effectively suicidal.

And on that count, those lovely bursts of serotonin and dopamine and oxytocin, among many others, that we get when we look at something pretty or of personal significance are a vital part of staying alive. So do please keep undermining your HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE "simple" argument.

To clarify, emotions are given EXTRA meaning, outside of self preservation.

Mementos have nothing to do with self preservation, thus those feelings attached to that *insert item (locket, photo, etc)* are useless.

However if you are the kind of person that runs back into their burning house to save the family photo album. Great. Weeds out the morons I guess, hmm emotions are a bit more handy then.

I have to correct myself: Emotions are also useful if they lead morons to get themselves killed.

Those are chemical reactions, which everyone reacts differently to. I personally don't get all weak in the knees over useless trinkets simply because they belonged to a grandparent.

Subjective emotional attachment has nothing to do with the mechanics of how humans function.

Too late guys, sorry. I already own the coolest bracelet in the world. It's a slap-band with X-Ray and Vav on it.

You don't actually know what the word specious means... but you're going to use it in hopes that you got it contextually right so you'll look clever... when you could have just checked the definition first... because we're on the internet...

So many layers of intellectual disconnect. It's like an onion. Or a cake.

And cue the "I'm going to say a word means what I want it to mean because that'll totally not make me look like an idiot" response. I've never seen that one before. Really.

Sorry couldn't hear the intelligence with all the loud nonsense in your post.

I substitute your superficially credible argument with My sound and logical one.

From a spartan viewpoint Jewelry is frivolous,

From any viewpoint, jewelry is frivolous... that's the point. Historically, jewelry was used to show social standing. It's the same hole people now fill with consumer electronics and fancy cars. The only difference is than now people invest in frivolities that invariably depreciate instead of appreciate.
