> It might sound dystopian, but setting emotions aside

Off-topic, but setting emotions aside means no decisions ever get made because inductive reasoning (and therefore all of prediction) is an emotional process and has zero grounding in rationality.

You can't operate in reality without emotion because reality doesn't follow any guaranteed logic we've discovered.

I wish more people understood this.
