- W/r/t torture + disgust + indignation:
  - Agree that indignation comes off as more constructive than disgust, though is disgust an essential / primary cause for the indignation? Who is indigant about torture but not disgusted by it?
- Agree disgust is valid when it directs us away from danger
  - Though Nussbaum's opponents are claiming homosexuality is a (societal) danger (for which disgust is just one piece of 'evidence'), so it's deflecting the main argument.
- A couple examples of disgust getting it wrong not convincing.
  - Could come up with examples of indignation getting it wrong according to Nussbaum herself.
  - Hypothetical: suppose Native Americans were disgusted by European settlers and were motivated to unify and reject the invasion. Wouldn't this have saved their society? Was a (counterfactual) stronger disgust reaction the only plausible hope for this happening?
- Is not eliciting disgust in nonconsenting strangers bad by Mill's principle? Couldn't there exist a country whose population is so vicerally disgusted by homosexuality that, in that country, it truly is wrong to have gay marriage? (e.g. Islamic country)
