Beyond his claims of coldness, logicalness, and objectivity, we all get to make our own judgments about how much he actually exemplifies those characteristics. I don't recall a lot of convincing evidence from him in either the "logicalness" and "objectivity" departments (note, for instance, the walking away from physics and computer science because they're 'too freaky'.... WHAAAA?), but I would grant that "coldness" has been amply demonstrated.
I had ten terms of physics, and five of computer science, so I'm going to wade in here.
We all know that physics starts with everyday stuff, and works on explanation. It isn't too long, though, before some of it starts to nearly contradict everyday experience. Computer science is similar; at first it's dealing with how to handle standard stuff that seems normal, but even in second term we were having to wrap our minds around new ways of doing things, new patterns for old problems.
In both cases, it can become very uncomfortable mentally and emotionally, as what we're learning gets weirder, farther removed from what we consider "normal". In 60s slang, it can freak a person out -- and hence to some, it can seem freaky.
But the real problem is an inability or unwillingness to stretch your mind to new ways, new methods, new paths. I know, from tutoring physics, that there is the occasional person who is just unable (it becomes kind of obvious when you've run through all the standard analogies, a couple of different ways to do the math, and when you ask, "Get it now?" she says, "um, no"), but for the most part it's people who get very uncomfortable at what such a subject does to their worldview (I tutored one guy who actually got anxiety attacks when we pushed the frontiers).
So my guess is that this person, calling computer science and physics "freaky", is one who met some concepts which were a bit too strange, and, unwilling to increase his mental flexibility, retreated -- and gives an excuse which is revealing.
You want logical, OK, he’s in here hanging out on a gay porn site calling himself “curious,” logically speaking there’s a high probability he’s closeted, either bi or gay. Knowing this, and knowing that it’s typical for closeted men to repress their emotions – sometimes to the point where they’re in complete denial; and when you come across the statement “I’m incapable of Love.” What’s the most logical conclusion? That he is in fact the only human in existence without emotions? Or that he’s repressing something.
Obviously you’ve never been a closet case gay man. Everything in your life is evaluated in terms of keeping that secret. You only participate in activities that are butch, you don’t become an interior decorator, you play basketball, you date women, you never ever, ever say, “I’d fuck” followed by even a gender neutral name.
As a person who spent most of his life repressing sexuality, period, I agree with this whole-heartedly! Attraction to others involves emotion, and if you don't want to show your attraction, you have to crush emotions. You can even get to the point where it all becomes so automatic that even to you, you seem emotionless, unable to love or hate. I went for years unable to cry, unable to find delight in a sunset or a gift, and with a hollow laugh that sounded artificial to my own ears.
I give great credit to my time in Campus Crusade for Christ for coming out of it. Winter terms at OSU, I kept crashing into severe depressions, and it became obvious that these guys really cared. When you have someone who really cares about you, it's hard to keep the emotional walls up, even if you don't know you have them. I actually fled sometimes because being loved
hurt! and also came with a terror I couldn't make sense of, but after a while described as feeling I "might get out of control".
That's a very real terror to someone who has never allowed himself to feel normal emotions, and in clamping down on it he becomes hard and cold. But that hardness is also brittleness, and that just feeds the terror. Yet that brittleness is a step toward health, because only once the facade is cracked can real emotions come out, and come through.
My final step didn't come till I came out. That's been over three years now, and my emotions still give me scares; I still have the impulses to clamp down, reign it in, and withdraw.
). There are a few ways we can get to an adult individual who is "incapable of love;" one of them being the route outlined by TXbeau -- someone's actually so terrified of the vulnerability of feeling tender that they work very hard to never allow those tender feelings to become conscious.
