This article is a little light. If you're actually interested in scholarship around the topic, Jonathan Haidt has a lot of great writing around how deep seated "gut" feelings like disgust drive our moral judgements. I would highly recommend his books and papers.
The Righteous Mind is a good starting place for this topic.
- User23 6y agoThis reminds me of the finding that viewing homosexual male activity triggers serious physiological stress to heterosexual men independently of prejudice[1]. The response is entirely involuntary. I've also heard that people on the political right have a much higher disgust sensitivity than people on the left, but I suspect that's not nearly as meaningful as it first sounds due to the artificiality of forcing the diversity of moral and political opinions along a single axis based on French politics at the time of the Revolution.
