    Off topic, but there's something really really wrong with this guy. I don't like the continuous half smirk on his face. I don't like absolutely anything about him and find him creepy.

      That’s the uncanny valley reflex.

      At some period in Homo Sapiens evolution we developed an instinct for … things that weren’t quite right. They looked like people they talked like people. They were not people. They were dangerous, they were non human. We faced evolutionary pressure to recognise them. That means if you could not recognise these … things you would be removed from the gene pool.

      That is why you find him creepy.

        I am trying to think of an example of something dangerous that talks like a human, almost looks like a human, but isn't human… A politician?
