I think some people, especially evil people, or people that are deeply, deeply fucked up, they can literally separate parts of their brain, I think.

And they can just put it over here and it's not there.

I once had a therapist told me I was really good at compartmentalizing.

I can't imagine compartmentalizing that.

I'm extraordinary at compartmentalizing.

Not to toot my own horn, I don't think it's necessarily always a good thing.

Honestly, in fact, a lot of times it is a detriment.

A lot of times it's very bad.

I'm really good at it.

And I think it's just some brains can do it, some can't.

But I think to this extent, there needs to be some deeply, deeply fucked up parts of you that allow you – because I can compartmentalize things that I think, you know, like things that are – Well, a lot of times compartmentalizing is tied in with survival.

Yeah, that's the thing.

It's like I can compartmentalize to be like, you know what?

That's not helping me be productive here, so I'm going to put it over there.

Same here, yeah.
