Is there any reason to think that the fraction of arthopod-phobes (?) would be any higher or lower among us than among the general propulation?
Actually, it would be interesting to test this. http://www.yourmorals.org/disgust_process.php and http://www.yourmorals.org/blog/category/disgust/ show that people who are "high" on disgust tend to be more conservative. But if we know anything on the demographics here, it's that Republicans are almost non-existent on here, and that people here generally fit in categories that are "low" on disgust.
Personally, I'm totally fine with things many people find morally disgusting, like incest. Moral disgust practically doesn't exist in my psyche. But for some reason this doesn't extend to arthropods.
