I accept that you believe you killed your emotions. However, I think statements like "you have no idea what you are talking about" indicate a presence of emotions, as that's a pretty extreme statement. So I think it might be best to avoid further continuing this discussion.
OrphanWilde has told his emotion-killing story elsewhere on LW, and isn't claiming to have no emotions now but to have spent some time in the past without emotions (having deliberately got rid of them) and found the results very unsatisfactory.
Whether that makes any difference to your willingness to continue the conversation is of course up to you.
I'll repeat:
If you do possess the ability to change people's goals, you should start there. Convince people that Effective Altruism is worth doing for its own sake. If you can manage that, you don't need the dark arts in the first place. If you need the dark arts, then you can't do what you'd need to be able to do to make the results favorable, and shouldn't use them.
