RE: The Spark + Unbewusstes - Finish The Story Contest - Week #66 @bananafish
LOL!
You're so much fun to read and to be ready by. :)
Sarcasm from a robot not programmed for it is what slackened Arlong's jaw, but, yeah...
As I envision it, Arlong is totally unaware that the architect is not the typical modern woman but one who finds his Old School cigars and masculinity, uh, not at all toxic. (I really could have used a thousand words with this one.) :) Coincidentally, I had happened across a book review in The Guardian this morning, and it made me think of @rhondak's story about Aidan the AI, but it must have lingered like cigar smoke in my subconscious, hence, Jennifer's response to him...
“Love and Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships
by David Levy” https://gu.com/p/xyvym/stw
In this racy, divertingly illustrated book, which a USA Today critic found "troublingly arousing", Levy contends that by 2050, sex with robots will be commonplace. Indeed, marriage with robots will be legalised. Imagine the problems.
So it's not socially acceptable to have flesh to flesh sex? She's an anachronism, and knows no shame about it. I like Jennifer
I kinda thought of it that way! Maybe the novel "Brave New World" was lurking in my subconscious (birth from a human after 9 months in a real womb was considered sordid). A shameless anachronism: oooh, I like that!
I've seen a new chiropractor twice now. Today she mentioned her Christian upbringing and what one quotable person said of being indoctrinated Christian. We grow up believing dichotomies: "God loves me. God will let me 'choose' to burn in hell. And ex is dirty, but I must save it for the man I'll marry." Not an exact quote, but I knew exactly what she meant when she said it. Some of us whippersnappers just don't know how to reconcile the teachings with the logic, or lack of consistency, our little brains discern.
Oops. That's "Sex is dirty," but I must save it as a gift for the person I'll marry.
