      If the Allies *had* experienced a knee jerk feeling of horror and disgust towards genocide that was strong enough to propel them to act against the Nazis, we would have been better off. This wasn't the case.

      Fair enough. I still think Arthur Chu's kneejerk sense of disgust towards me, because I like a Jewish blogger who is also liked by people Chu calls "Nazis", is overapplied. In the same way the Nazis had dangerously overapplied disgust for Jews they felt were oppressing them.

      Ah, yes, the root cause of Nazism is, of course, the simple existence of negative emotions, without which we would all, by definition, be happy Why did no one else ever think of this solution to societal ills

      Look, as disgusted as you may be by the emotion of disgust, and as ironic as that may be, as the canonical psychological text Inside Out taught us, disgust is one of the five basic human emotional responses

      To have a "kneejerk sense of disgust" is to be a functional human being, in particular to have a functional moral sense Indeed, disgust and morality are synonymous - the act of moral judgment is merely an abstraction, the lived experience of which is the feeling of disgust

      So … what do we say to those who experience knee-jerk disgust at homosexuality or transgenderism?

      Replying to @mileshuman @arthur_affect and

      Is there a morally-correct set of disgust reactions? Are you confident you have that set? How did you come by it? If you’re a person who doesn’t happen to share that same set, how do you know you’re wrong? How do you change your disgust reaction profile if you want to?

      I didn't say that I agree with Leon Kass that the morals you came out of the box with are automatically correct

      In all seriousness I think it's a complicated question but I think the Pixar movie actually has some surprisingly sophisticated points to make Disgust as the seat of moral judgment is weighted by the other emotions

      Anger (which is sensitive to oppression and exploitation, to the frustration of human freedom) Fear (which is sensitive to existential threats to the self) Sadness (which is the root of the formation of empathetic bonds) Joy (which is the seat of value and desire)

          But I mean it's a big question that I honestly don't think can be answered by thinking about it and trying to reason it out It's a question answered by the social context we have with other people, only in that context do we answer questions about "What kind of person am I"
