The Cybermen in Doctor Who are logical and unemotional, yet they wish to convert the rest of the world to be like them. Why? Without emotion they have no reason to do that, or anything else.

The 'big' emotions like fear, rage, lust probably aren't, but values, feelings that this is preferred to that, are.
