Damien Broderick alerted me to this essay by Steven Pinker, "The Stupidity of Dignity," which is about bioethics, the increasing influence conservative religious forces are having on medical developments in the U.S., and why noted bioethicist and buffoon Leon Kass thinks it's beneath anyone's dignity to eat an ice cream cone in public. Pinker sounds the alarm here.
