My reasonably-pc daughter is 18 and read & enjoyed it at the age of 14 so I’d say it’s still probably ok? Think well-written modern gothic horror gets a pass.

I heard some professor put googly eyes on a pencil and waved it at his class saying "HI! I'm Tim the pencil! I love helping children with their homework but my favorite is drawing pictures!"
Then, without warning, he snapped the pencil in half.

I just wanted to say how much I loved the essay: I went on a similar journey myself. Nowadays I'm a philosophy nerd: my fave is Derek Parfit, ethicist, his magnum opus a 2-volume > 1000 pair of bricks called "On What Matters". And what matters according to Parfit? People. People are what matters.

The dude is damaged in a very particular manner. He thinks that (other) people don’t matter as individuals: we are all fodder for the utilitarian blender set to “max” on the optimization dial. He really thinks he’s doing the right thing. A distressingly common mindset in my industry (tech).

Think I'm Team Nicola here despite being a bloke: "faces" face forwards. Ears border that forward-facing zone, which opens up a degree of ambiguity, e.g. muscles attached to ears *are* present in the face. But the ears themselves point off to the side, they don't face the onlooker.
