Abstract
In his book Artificial Intimacy, evolutionary biologist
Rob Brooks provides yet another example of an attempt
to use upcoming technology advances to provide a
solution to grievances expressed by the Incel
(Involuntarily celibate) community. While countering the
Incel movement is important, since they have recently
begun to engage in acts of domestic terrorism, sex
technology cannot provide any sort of solution to the
problem they represent, regardless of how advanced
that technology becomes. This essay aims to make that
clear and end such approaches more generally.
