A cylinder has a clearly defined goal and an understanding of the meaning of life as achieving that goal. The surrounding environment is viewed solely from the perspective of completing the task as quickly as possible.

All without hesitation, doubt, whining, screaming, looking back at various nonsense, and other Dostoevsky-esque things.
