RE: Is there a way to unset all Emacs key bindings?

Be aware that in Emacs every key you touch (and that has an
effect) is bound to a command.  That includes keys such as
`a', which have command `self-insert-command' as their global
key binding.

Pretty much everything you do in Emacs invokes an Emacs command.
Every key you press, every menu item you choose, every mouse
action you perform.

This is at the base of the Emacs approach (design).

And most of those commands are defined in Lisp, not C, which
means you can easily change their definitions, even on the fly,
interactively.  And you can of course easily change key bindings
as well.

These features are also basic to the design of Emacs.  You
might even say that they constitute the whole point of Emacs
(as opposed to some other editors).
