Before I found myself at the bottom of a pit of overwhelmed dispair, I told myself, "Hey, it's time to efficienize. It's time to get ready. I can do this!
Neil is an efficienist, there is no doubt about that. He hates inefficient people, and believes there should be a law restricting those people from interacting with society.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
