It's when a persons neurological functions or even spiritual worldview don't map on their bodily genetics.The Underground Man had pagan morals internally, which act as a release mechanism for serotonin.

>>24884646He’s supposed to satirize commie stoicism so it makes sense people identify with him so much.
