CloseWARNING : The following story may or not upset people with weaker stomachs.
I just had a idea today while listening Meshuggah's New Milenium Cyanide Christ (yes, I'm a metalhead, and no, I'm not a member of a sect).
The song may look like a typical trash metal song, but it actually has a deeper subject (better look up the lyrics on the net if you wish to understand anything)
The point of the song is that a man tries to became savior of Man, the equivalent of Jesus Christ, and to do so, he undergoes various changes (for example changing his bones with bars), but in his quest all he manages to do is to hurt himself, proving the ideology of the song that if the world was to be perfect, Man would have to give up on all of his senses (which the man does - replacing his eyes with fuses - to not see ungodly sights and removing his ears to disable ungodly sounds and fear. He even shuts his mouth with hexagonal bolts - to stop the creator of all violence(i.e speech) - "without words there will be no deceit".
This got me thinking. Can man truly be perfect? If we could somehow control our senses, could we become superior?
This actually has a deeper subject I had a lengthy thought, but I'm so tired, I'm gonna go to sleep, and maybe it'll come back tomorrow.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

There's truth in the saying, garbage in, garbage out. But cloistering yourself in a monastery doesn't solve the problem. It's in our nature to value ourselves over others - infants and small children cry and stomp and scream until they get what they want, and it's only because society teaches them that that's wrong that they start thinking of the needs of others. If you remove all senses, you remove society, and so that dark selfish core never gets influenced and you remain an infant forever.
But then, on the other hand, if you're physically incapable of perceiving or interacting with other living creatures, there's literally no way you could do anything wrong. There'd be no one to do it to. It would be the equivalent of being in a coma. So, if you think comatose is perfection...
Personally, if that's the alternative, I'm thankful for free will, no matter what evils it causes.
