Why did the Emperor want to make humanity into a race of psykers? Wouldn't making them into blanks be better at defeating Chaos?

Why did the Emperor want to make humanity into a race of psykers?
He said in MoM that he wants to cut humanity's connection to the Warp. So that's a misconception on your part, OP.
>He said in MoM that he wants to cut humanity's connection to the Warp
By going into the webway
More than that. You should read the passage. The Webway was a step in the plan.
>Why did the Emperor want to make humanity into a race of psykers?
He didn't. He recognized humanity's inevitable fate, as humanity was slowly moving towards becoming an overtly psychic species en masse, the precursor of which was a massive contributor to the Age of Strife.
>Wouldn't making them into blanks be better at defeating Chaos?
Blanks are literally soulless, so no. And also, there is no "defeating" Chaos. You might as well try to "defeat" gravity.
>He said
moronic nonsense.
>he wants to cut humanity's connection to the Warp.
Completely and utterly moronic nonsense.
nu41k was and continues to be an abortion of a setting.
What is the benefit of having a soul?
Considering Nucrons are chilling as frick without it you can say souls are useless unless you are into being raped by Chaos.
>And also, there is no "defeating" Chaos. You might as well try to "defeat" gravity.
CHALL-ENGE ACCEPT-ED!
> implodes the warp
>soulless
No, they just have a soul that operates on a reverse frequency to that of the Warp. Culexus are noted to be "anti-soul" that way.

Psykers are peak spiritual humanity. Going the Peter Watts route of materialistic anti-consciousness would be anathema to Emps life goals. It could be a good cope for the warp from a DAOT survivor colony though.
Maybe that's what the Slaugth were. They're all near-immortal blanks with superb technology and odd attitudes towards humans. Eating human brains to vicariously remember what a fully mystical life was like would be on theme. It would also explain why the First Legion was sent to destroy them.
>defeating Chaos?
He was trying to defeat Chaos, and THEN evolve humanity into a race of psykers.
Humanity was (and still is) evolving into a race of psykers, whether the Emperor likes it or not. He was just trying to make the transition as smooth as possible and prevent the Chaos Gods from fricking it all up.
I thought the dudes like the custodes were closer to his ideal without the psyker stuff
That's literally what Valdor has done. It's a bit weird GW introduced this society of blanks and then released armies of dwarves instead.
>Why did the Emperor want
>want
It was a natural part of their evolution, and he doesn't want them to be because they'll frick up the warp and the warp will frick them up in turn.
as the others stated, its pretty much the natural end goal of chaos, and the thing with blanks is while they are good at dealing with the rank of file warp shit and even some of the bigger threats, a really powerful pysker or daemon prince will turn them into paste with minimum effort, in other words its not an end all solution
HEY LOOK EVERYONE! THIS moron IS TRYING TO GATHER SOME LOGIC AND CONSISTANCY FROM GW LORE! DOEST HE KNOW THAT ALL THE LORE IS JUST AN ADVERT FOR OVERPRICED TOY SOLDERS? POINT AT HIM AND LAUGH!
You just like making threads with the animu navigator image, don't you?
You know that the Emperor devours a thousand psykers a day just to stay alive on the golden throne and keep the psychic beacon working that all Imperial ships navigate by, right? He was just trying to secure a permanant food source.
cassia is cute
If humanity was all like him, they wouldn't be vulnerable to the Warp.
