Transcript:
verne: rj, you can't stereotype an entire species! you'll end up pre-judging other members of the species you don't know! rj: so? verne: it's intellectually lazy! you're smearing an entire species based on one example! rj: you say lazy. I say efficient. verne: You really are a speciesist. rj: I don't know what that means, but it rhymes with squeeziest, so thanks!
