My personal theory about why Colin was so annoyed at his therapists for not knowing what logic gates are (once I got over my initial reaction of "bestie what the fuck kind of expectation is that") is that he somehow got into an argument similar to the following with all of them:
THERAPIST: It can be the stress of the job and/or stress about something in your personal life.
COLIN: Don't say "and/or", it's redundant and sounds stupid.
THERAPIST: Pardon?
COLIN: "OR" is false only when both statements are false. You don't have to throw "AND" in there to include the possibility that both statements are true. You're not saying "XOR", it's not exclusive.
THERAPIST: Well, I-
COLIN: You are an idiot and this is a waste of my time.
loving the early characterisation in protocol, love that sam's defining feature is noodle arms, that gwendolyn is so precise, that alice is always the funniest person in the room (according to her anyway), and colin sometimes snaps a pencil as an answer to questions about the computers he's in charge of
So this is probably a stretch but when Colin’s complaining about the program being broken he seems to imply intention to it
What if Freddy or Norris and Chester or whatever sentience the computers have is actively attempting to destroy itself? What if it doesn’t want to be like this, what if it’s in pain, what if the angels cut it when it tries to think and every error is it lashing out in pain and rage and terror?
What if Colin’s dragging it kicking and screaming from its own demise? What if it hates him for it?
