That one seemed a little preachy and "rah-rah science" to me. I much preferred his "Fuck the Poor":

Fuck the poor!
I'm not pretending anymore
That I really give two shits about
Some kids in Bangalore.
I'm more interested in footie
Than seeing the Solomons rebuilt,
But I'll give you 50 bucks to take away my guilt.

I like to think of it as another post that's about not just about the quote itself but how a Less Wrong context completely changes its meaning.
