Upon observing mundanes's behaviors...

[littlelifeforms]

Mundane.

I have observed your behavior and that of other mundanes. It is most intriguing, however I cannot help but be perplexed by some of your choices and decisions. Mundanes appear to feel pleasure out of taking cruel decisions and placing their muses in terrible situations. I believe it to be the very definition of sadism.

As an example, I have recently regained my emotion chip, in the "game" you sent me to. Yet, I have heard of your plans to have it destroyed before I could equip it. It sounds... [Head tilt.] Most purposeless and cruel.

I believe it to be necessary for you and other mundanes to seek psychological help without delay. If it can be of assistance, I know of a holodeck program where you could meet doctor Sigmund Freud.

lol oh boy a character that's impossible to icon, have fun with her

[The clockwork girl is disturbed by the almost lifeless way Data talks. She tilts her head to the side in imitation of him, gears whirring and ticking. Her porcelain face is painted in a neutral, almost pleasant expression, hiding the discomfort she feels.]

Emotion chip? [The technology from her world is vastly different, but Mattie is clever enough to understand what he's talking about.] Why would this mundane of yours want to destroy it?

Pfff, no problem

[littlelifeforms]

[ He tilts his head again and looks as surprised as an emotionless android can at this other artificial lifeform. ]

I believe my mundane dislikes the concept behind the emotion chip. He would rather see me as I am now than equipped with it. However I cannot understand why.

[honordyne]

Is this something I should be worried about?

[littlelifeforms]

I believe so, yes. I have observed very few mundanes who did not display such negative qualities.

[sonof_mogh]

Data. [What did he have to say this time?]

You have your emotion chip back? Do not tell me Law is involved this time also? [He had enough of that evil psycho.]

If it is indeed cruel, then destroy it.

[littlelifeforms]

Lieutenant. [He shakes his head.] I believe you must mean Lore, and not he is not. The emotion chip was a Christmas Present from the administrators in charge of the Tower of Animus.

However, I am divided as to the matter of its destruction. While it is possible they tempered with the chip, it may also be my only chance to feel emotions again.

[puppy_lancer]

You said it, buddy.

[Muns were like gods, seriously.]

[littlelifeforms]

This is a correct assessment.

[ They're like Q, except in worse. ]

[terreifying]

...You can already feel emotions without the chip, right? So why do you want it in the first place?

[littlelifeforms]

You are mistaken. I cannot feel emotions without the chip, otherwise I would agree and would have no need for it.

[sonof_worf]

Hey, Data. Want to play Parisses squares with me?

[littlelifeforms]

Alexander, I do not believe your father would appreciate it I were to play this game with you.

[neverwrong]

"Purposeless and cruel" is the name of the game. Good luck trying to convince any mun that they shouldn't torture the hell out of us. It's kinda their M.O., from what I've gathered.

[littlelifeforms]

I am afraid you are correct, all attempts at reasoning appear to be futile. It is however very informative about human nature. Without laws and moral constraints regulating them, humans are still capable of the worse atrocities.

[earlgrey_hot]

Unfortunately, Mr. Data, it is very unlikely your mundane will follow your advice.

[littlelifeforms]

I have to agree Captain. Albeit I have to admit, I do not understand why the mundanes would do such things. It serves no purpose.

[simulatedmedic]

In my opinion, these mundanes are beyond even Freud's help.

[littlelifeforms]

You may be correct. However, for our own sake and futures, I have to believe they can helped.

[itsmedax]

Mundanes often make strange and confusing choices, especially when it comes to us.

[littlelifeforms]

Indeed they do. I may have to reach the conclusion that rationalizing their methods may be vain.

[ophiovacca]

Purposeless and cruel seems to be their favorite course of action, unfortunately... I've mostly been quite lucky, compared to others. Though only because she hasn't yet managed to fully write out my history.

[littlelifeforms]

I would then advise you to attempt delaying her writing of your history. Suggesting complicated details may have it never ended.

[bequeathal]

Sir, Doctor Sigmund Freud's methods of psychological analysis are most ineffective and his theories have been, for the greater part of the psychological sciences community, entirely dismissed.

If time travel is an option, might I suggest the following:
Carl Rogers
John B. Watson
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Gordon Allport
Mary Ainsworth

Do keep in mind that I cannot ensure any of the aforementioned would be willing to take clients.

I may extend an apology on your mun's behalf but I cannot speak for mine being any more structured.

[littlelifeforms]

It is true that his works have been contested on several occasions. However, many still believe in his dogma back in my homeworld and his readings are required for all students in psychology. Having spoken to him once, I have to say he was quite... Closed-minded.

As for meeting them, I will have no need for time travel. The holodeck can recreate these psychologists and have them accept any client.

[knight_2000]

I believe that, for as many years that I have known and worked beside humans, they are and will remain a mystery to me.
