Oh no, the point is not to be disgusted or anything like that

The way the argument was formulated was to introduce lots of contrast with the "pedestal treatment." In the end, it's all about treating people with respect (i.e. like people) and not with special treatment. I think this is very important. In my case too - it's only when I stopped being totally distracted by beauty that I got more successful.

I don't see how the fact that someone is human reduces other incentives to treat them otherwise special.
