In a universe portrayed in the modern age as being utterly devoid of meaning and purpose, emotion is often regarded as little more than human weakness. There is a widely held view that emotion should certainly play no part in major decisions and actions, be they politics, business, science, or war. But what if emotion were actually one of the fundamental features of consciousness itself, guiding its evolution? Against a background of the overall origin and nature of consciousness, we ask: What if it is in fact impossible for emotion – and its partner motivation – to be separated from thinking and reason? What if they are essentially two sides of the same coin? Science is driving the development of the technologies which will most affect our future: renewable energy, food production, employment, medicine, finance, surveillance, and international security. And yet it is a falsehood that science – or anything else in the realm of human affairs – can somehow operate independently from human emotion and motivation. If this is understood and integrated, we have a better chance of a future less motivated by greed, power, hatred and revenge.
