My Two New Favorite Aaronisms


From Quinn, Aaron’s quip about Lasik:

“Lasers are supposed to come out of your eyes.”

And from Mako, a story:

I remember Aaron confronting Peter Singer — intellectual founder of the modern animal rights movement — at the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival to ask if humans had a moral obligation to stop animals from killing each other. I lurked behind, embarrassed about the question but curious to hear the answer. (Singer sighed and said “yes — sort of” and complemented Aaron on the enormous Marxist commentary he was carrying.)
