He keeps saying stuff like, I have no feelings.

And I actually believe, in many ways, he does not have feelings.

But what they say with psychopathy and sociopathy is that it actually does sometimes...

fire up your emotional IQ in a different way where you don't understand your own emotions, but you can actually gain access to how other people feel a little bit easier when your own feelings are not in play.

He understands people on a different level.

And it's like one of those things when like, if every single person is your friend, then nobody's your friend.

Exactly.

You know?

Everything's shallow.

He is one of those accidental magical figures that is hard to describe because when he talks about the power of oddness, he is literally channeling Aleister Crowley.

He is talking in the way of Anton LaVey.
