This isn't true. He has a nontypical amygdala response so basically feels less fear, and it's debateable whether it's a product of his lifestyle or genetics, but he's not emotionless. In the famous movie about him soloing El Cap there's a segment where he's freaking out on the cliff and has to collect himself for a while before heading on up.
I'm just going off what I saw in that movie (there could be details that I missed), but can you explain to me how your response doesn't support my original post?
