That doesn't bother me at all. I come from a biologist family, and this is unusual, but not morally wrong, and it speaks to curiosity. Unfortunately, his curiosity didn't extend to developing a working understanding of science or biology, and he turned into a conspiracy theorist with a complete lack of self-criticism.
So now, instead of becoming a scientist, he's destroying the practice of science in the USA.
hes totally in the pseudoscience. even someone with a science background isnt going around cutting off dead animals penises. he also chose the animal with the most dangerous pathogens too.
Maybe the brain worm came from taste-testing raccoon cock rather than snorting coke off toilet seats. Just the type of intrepid thinker we want in charge of the Health Department, heh.
he loves to drip methylene blue into his drink, the least natural way to "have an organic" diet.
Maybe people who mutilate the genitals of dead animals aren't actually future scientists?
Worth thinking about.
