sex bots, or just greater consumerist invasion into self-pleasure in general will be a dangerous line to cross

although the threshold is ambiguous it is the force of capitalism to make everything achievable yet nothing to delimit it
this process of elimination into the realm of totality forces the anchor of the real to un-plant itself

sex bots will not make them "chill-out"
regardless the danger is not mostly on them but on the institution of sex in general and the ambiguity becomes greater and the limits of permissible spaces become totalitarian to the point where the obscene is depicted as the mundane and so on

As someone starting a PhD there in the bioscences pretty soon, what you're talking about is just a general downward trend nearly all humanities departments worldwide are going through. Oxfords scientific departments are better than ever, especially in the biosciences and computer science fields.

The fall of humanities is frankly an economic consequence of the conversion of universities into degree mills rather than necessarily places of learning and such. This means a lessening of funding for all humanities departments, while an increase of funding and preference for the sciences. With this decrease in funding the publish or perish mentality has functionally caused everyone who ins't pushing an idealogy hard to eventually lose their job, making the departments more idealogical and more crap. This will continue until something is done about it.

On the bright side it's making post graduate research in STEM more productive year by year. Which is good for me I guess

1 not reality as is but reality as a person would perceive it, not the physical reality but the non-perceivable parts of the society in which he lives in

3 that issue is irrelevant because destabilization has already begun without sex robots, also robots are not made for sex

4 it is physical sure but it is just a masterbation tool, it cannot replace sweat, blood and warmth, and even if it can replicate it there is a barrier it can never pass
