Sternberg Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:29:04 +0000 http://www.tinynibbles.com/?p=14833#comment-25009 Freakonomics last week had an article about aluminum, and how it went from being one of the most expensive precious metals in the world (because it was insanely hard to extract with chemical methods) to being one of the cheapest (the development of efficient electrical generators made liberating aluminium from its ore trivial). Journalist Steven Kotler wrote, "When viewed through the lens of technology, few resources are truly scarce; they are mainly difficult to access." I wonder if sex robots, and sex technology in general, does something like that to our need for love, satisfaction, and emotional expression. "When viewed through the lens of technology, sex and love are not truly scarce; they are mainly difficult to access." Hmm....
