But if this actually did happen. Would we as a species not deem governments as illogical and therefore be removed from existence.
Government is there to govern those who need it. When all the species are logically driven then the need for police/army/government will be removed.

"We would think logically without letting emotions hinder the best possible outcome."
How do you have a best possible outcome without emotion? Without emotion, what would you care about religious wars or any other problems? A world without emotion would be a world where extinction is no better than survival. No one would care one way or the other.
I think long term thinking and encouraging desire for healthy sustainable life styles would be more in line with evolution. As in Chess, emotions aren't very good for deciding moves; but how do you set the goal without them?
I don't think that's the case. Just as a race of robotic artificial life forms could be programmed with the desire to reproduce and continue existence, Humans ARE programmed with this base desire. I don't think emotion really comes into it in that respect.

Sorry, my post was unfinished when you responded. What goals do you think would be pursued without emotional drive. What pure logic demands the accomplishment of these goals?
