Gross for Thee but Not for Me

The DORK Side

Welcome to the DORK Side, where we're not afraid to get our hands dirty, metaphorically speaking. Because literally, if we got our hands dirty, we'd be disgusted. Or would we?

We live in a world sanitized for our protection. We have hand sanitizer dispensers next to the holy water in some churches. But this reflex, this full-body 'NOPE' we feel when we see something gross, isn't a social construct. It's our oldest, most primitive personal bodyguard. Scientists call it the 'Behavioral Immune System'—a psychological security detail that evolved long before we understood what a germ was. It's the reason a pile of vomit clears a room faster than a fire alarm.
