My goodness. He doesn't seem to recognize the subjective experience-- the misery of it. I'm going to have to wish this guy a nice attack of major depression or panic disorder as a learning experience.
"They are brains that produce atypical behaviors (which could include such eccentricities as dyed hair or multiple piercings or tattoos that nobody in their right mind could find attractive)."
Until there's a diagnostic category for Unusual Fashion Sense Disorder, that's a pretty ridiculous statement.
