I understand why they went for the emotional disconnect factor... Strong emotion, both "good" and "bad" holds great power. But cutting that cord, they cut that ability. In some, anyway. But to break it down and explain it? It would sound like the batshittiest of batshit because we all understand and explain things differently, there's no way to accurately communicate what's really going on. Now I want to hear "What I Am" by Edie Brickell, lmao.
