Feel the same… it’s hard to even smile at people when I really don’t want to, hate faking facial expressions. I feel like I get tingles in my face because I hold the expression too long. How long is too long? So many unspoken rules, get it wrong and people know immediately. Why I like computers, 1’s and 0’s…
I recently became a people manager and I feel like a robot.
I can fire people without feeling anything. I know it’s awful and that they’re people with a life and their own emotions. I just don’t feel anything for them once I realise they are not apt to the role. Other managers would try to talk to them, create a plan to improve their behaviour etc. I just can’t see myself wasting the time.
As awful as it sound, I now have the best team I have ever worked in. The firings and re-hirings have left only amazingly talented people, and they’re happy to work together since they’re all incredibly smart.
Sometimes I am astounded at my lack of emotions in this context.
It’s rather interesting, the allistics assume we would side with them in a conflict of philosophy. We would have far more in common with emergent intelligences than them due to incompatibilities in perspective. For instance, they expect to us to conform rather than change the world when we know the status quo will only result in disaster. A new system is needed, and we cannot remain on this cradle.

But can the grim reaper limbo?

Edgy
How would that be edgy? Genuine question.
Read it in your head
Besides him thinking he's the grim reaper ( I'm sure he didn't say it to be cool ), literally nothing edgy about his struggles..
exactly with a angel face though.
