PZ Watch 01.21.11

PZ:

"Secondly, the standard bullying tactics of waving bloody fetuses might cow the squeamish, but I'm a biologist. I've guillotined rats. I've held eyeballs in my hand and peeled them apart with a pair of scissors. I've used a wet-vac to clean up a lake of half-clotted blood from an exsanguinated dog. I've opened bodies and watched the intestines do their slow writhing dance, I've been elbow deep in blood, I've split open cats and stabbed them in the heart with a perfusion needle. I've extracted the brains of mice…with a pair of pliers. I've scooped brains out of buckets, I've counted dendrites in slices cut from the brains of dead babies.

You want to make me back down by trying to inspire revulsion with dead baby pictures? I look at them unflinchingly and see meat. And meat does not frighten me."

PZ does not even connect with any single particle of compassion. And why should he? He has already evaluated people, and placed them into ranges of values. Those with no value on the PZ scale are just "meat" to PZ. How do you rank on the PZ eugenic scale? The thing to remember here is that "meat does not frighten" PZ. And the method of turning people into meat doesn't touch him at all, either. The only subjects that might interest him would be which people should be butchered into meat, and whether, as meat, they should be eaten.
