SEX DOLLS IN BROTHELS

CK: On a lighter note: Sex dolls in brothels is already a thing.
NB: Well thank goodness for that!
CK: No seriously, it's going to be huge. Lots of customers prefer the dolls because they can do anything without consideration of anyone but themselves. You might think sex work is already that way but apparently not enough. People prefer to relate to machines. "Westworld" is coming true, slowly but surely.
NB: But they are dolls, not robots?
CK: Yes. For now. Apparently the main complaint is that the dolls are too heavy!
NB: LOL even the fake bitches are fat cows.
CK: Not really, it's just that silicone is heavy. But it's only a stage, soon they'll find a better way. Look at this picture. Are those dental tools? I think they are. I think people are or soon will be paying money to act out torturing dolls.
NB: Isn't that our weekend plans?
CK: This totally fits with "Humans" and "Westworld" and with my hypothesis that the killer app is machines that suffer convincingly.
NB: As if humanity didn't have enough ways to be a jerk.
CK: That's just it. It's the logical conclusion of the mass sociopathy Bruce Gibney's book [A Generation of Sociopaths] raves about. Persuading people to get their jollies by torturing machines is a brilliant extension of social control, because instead of trying to limit people's worst instincts, it applies them to something relatively harmless.
NB: Seems like a good idea. But also a terrible idea.
CK: Of course it will have unexpected side effects, as usual. I predict it will worsen people's already failing ability to distinguish fantasy from reality, and therefore make people increasingly unable to grasp that their actions have real consequences.
NB: Seems like it. That's the problem with libertarianism. It instills that you should do whatever you want. Our culture is moving towards indulging people's stupid fantasies.
CK: Yes, exactly. That it's every man for himself.
NB: Because anything is good that makes money.
CK: And yes of course, this is the essence of consumerism. Even if "Westworld" doesn't come true literally, it's already true conceptually. The super-rich already literally pay to have sex with children. Trump's mob backers do this. Very likely Trump himself does this. It's not even unusual in billionaire circles. [Jeffrey Epstein scandal, "Lolita Express," "Orgy Island" etc.]

Religion and superstition are about as likely to engender moral behavior as untreated psychosis. They correlate with gullibility and credulousness, and result from undeveloped critical thinking skills, which similarly to language skills must be acquired within a limited time window of child development to avoid stunting and lost potential. Teaching children creationism or similar drivel severely inhibits their ability to fully participate in civil society as adults, and is therefore a cruel and pernicious form of psychological abuse. The triumph of the irrational, particularly in America, is rooted in a tragic failure of education. —Rev. Chris Korda
