Women have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making babies
The first niche will be taken by sexbots
The second by artificial wombs
Society will suddenly realize it doesn’t need women and those in power will quickly start replacing and disempowering them.
People like to consider the positive implications of technology but they don’t like to consider the negative implications
The smart strategy for women would be to ban ALL of the following:
- sexbots
- artificial wombs
- trans women
Nobody except women should be allowed to look sexy(feminine sexy), look female or bear children.
To some extent TERF women like @jk_rowling are smart enough to realize that it’s essential to defend the female monopoly on this stuff. But the average woman just isn’t strategic enough to go along with this, and there’s (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.

Men have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making phallic machines
The first niche will be taken by sexbots
The second, entertainingly, also by sexbots

To some extent TUFF men like @RokoMijic are smart enough to realize that it’s essential to defend the male monopoly on this stuff. But the average man just isn’t strategic enough to go along with this, and there’s (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.
[1] Women get to keep the Oxford comma.
Society could replace like 50-90% of men in leadership positions with answering machines that record what women say and play it back at a lower pitch to simulate a male voice claiming women’s ideas as their own. Also the answering machine has a strapon equipped
Does making sure he’s transphobic while he’s being misogynistic mean this is unfortunately technically inclusive?
I get this is a dumb question, but if sexbots and uterine replicators will make women redundant, why am I supposed to be threatened by trans women? In Roko’s framing, all women, trans and cis, will be replaced by robots. I got no problem if my secret post-andropocalypse wilderness tent at Camp Hothead Paisan is the home of both cis & trans women.
I guess he’s seeing the existence of trans women as proof of his theory.
“Trans women are trying to replace RealTM women” is a surprisingly common TERF talking point.
But what’s the point of being a trans woman in his narrative? Trans women will also be replaced by uterine replicators and sexbots! They will also be disempowered and sent to the salt mines with the cis women! That’s the part I find inexplicable.
I can see there’s a shitty faux-feminist idea that cis women will be replaced by trans women, like an XX chromosome is inherently inferior (so feminist!) and anyone with both a superior XY genome & a nice rack will obviously be a threat. But in this case Roko’s own argument says that robots are superior to flesh, so trans women aren’t the threat.
I realize that I’m trying to find logic in something that’s so beyond dumb it’s come out the other side into a sort of sublime form of perfection, but at least the basilisk follows some bizarre internal logic. This one is self contradictory. Is it so much to ask that I want misogynist and transphobic assholes to understand how to build a basic logical argument?!?
@gnomicutterance The basilisk is just an AI rip-off of Dispensationalist Satan. So it’s not surprising that Roko’s position on women echoes that of the most reactionary strains of Christian thought.
The basilisk is explicitly the Good AI, doing this for the good of all humanity! It’s just unfortunate that requires putting Roko into a locker over and over for eternity

i’m sorry Mr Mijic, your tamagotchi is not going to have a good day
As always, Valerie Solanas had the better plan sixty years ago.
Whether to continue to use females for reproduction or to reproduce in the laboratory will also become academic: what will happen when every female, twelve and over, is routinely taking the Pill and there are no longer any accidents? How many women will deliberately get or (if an accident) remain pregnant? No, Virginia, women don’t just adore being brood mares, despite what the mass of robot, brainwashed women will say. When society consists of only the fully conscious the answer will be none. Should a certain percentage of men be set aside by force to serve as brood mares for the species? Obviously this will not do. The answer is laboratory reproduction of babies.
[…]
Why produce even females? Why should there be future generations? What is their purpose? When aging and death are eliminated, why continue to reproduce? Why should we care what happens when we’re dead? Why should we care that there is no younger generation to succeed us.
Eventually the natural course of events, of social evolution, will lead to total female control of the world and, subsequently, to the cessation of the production of males and, ultimately, to the cessation of the production of females.
This was incredibly optimistic and naive. Many if not most women are obsessed with having children. I’ve had three of my long-term relationships and because I have no interest in having children, Ditto for many of my buddies. Most women aren’t having children because men force them to.
The woman-explainer has arrived in the thread.

Sounds like the kind of thing somebody would say when they know that I’m right and hate the fact. I’m guessing you went and looked up statistics?
Spoken like a man who jerks it to tradwife Midjourney pics. Can’t get it up unless the fingers look wrong, can you?
Oh, but you’ve provided us with statistics! Please, though, for the peer reviewers: we need the baseline measurement. How many women do you date who don’t break up with you? And are they all in Canada?
Which is more likely:
-
You believe that half the human race lacks the agency and interiority that you theoretically enjoy
OR -
You desperately crave human interaction and will take any attention that comes your way, even if it’s negative
That’s no way to live, is it? Do better.

this is the type of incredibly divorced energy that doesn’t play particularly well outside of twitter
since you seem like someone’s bad takes alt and your response to @[email protected] was low-effort debatebro shit and then crickets: I’m afraid our instance is breaking up with you. please run and tell your buddies it had nothing to do with your personality; clearly the fediverse just wants your babies.
