Given the right circumstances I think pretty much anyone would
be capable of torture, dispassionate torture I am not sure,
but torture none the less.
Sadism is quite a natural human element, we just suppress
it these days but its still there, but I dont
consider sadism a neccessary pre-requisite for it, it just
helps I guess.
"...torture none the less." That was just my point. Acting like a robot might be good for
you, but either way you'd still be torturing someone.

Let me just ask: If someone is acting like an unthinking, emotionless machine, should I
consider him superior in some way? If so, explain.
