Bioethicists seem to be uniformly ghastly people. What's the deal with that?
@Meaningness Well, Leon Kass seems to be horrible out of deep conviction. Dunno about the rest.

@St_Rev found that i had read wiki on kass before. Wow, yucch, wow. -
@St_Rev I should probably read Kass’ stuff and try to be sympathetic. Can’t image what’s going on with it. -
@Meaningness Few people I loathe more than Kass. He would happily have seen me die in agony at 17 to serve his debased ideas of meaning. -
@St_Rev Yes; I’m curious how an otherwise-intelligent person gets to such extremely wrong views. Wiki casts no light on that. -
@Meaningness He started as an MD, which involves a well-defined process of brainwashing into a state of superiority and callousness. -
@Meaningness In medicine it's functional; you need it or the first time you fuck up and kill someone you'll break. -
@Meaningness Problem is, he didn't stay in medicine, he turned to much more subtle matters, and in the new frame it's madness.
