It's hard to learn that you're the reasonable one after all.

People in your life whom you admire and respect, who will be the first to say how much they love science and compassion and logic, eventually show that they don't act on science, compassion, or logic. They're hypocrites.

This is the core issue of our age. We believe in science until we get to human beings. Then it's a special animal and all rules are off.

If you lift a male pygmy out of the Jungles of equatorial Guinea at a young age - not only will he become one of our most prized Rocket Surgeons, he will also become a stunning and brave woman. Just make sure you mutilate "her" and keep her on her hormones. The "stunning and brave" deserve no less.
