RE: My Thoughts on Real Dolls and the Men Who Buy Them
With the possibility of technology like real dolls in the future, people could
create microcosmic solipstic worlds for themselves, in which all their desires and whims are catered to, and they're never questioned. It's a frightening thought - It could potentially socialize people who don't understand negotiation or how to deal with friction.
That doesn't seem too far off the mark since people already tailor news feeds and friend or follow lists to reflect only what they want to hear and see. The machine feeds into solipsism: "... they will learn to love their slavery."
This would be good for the small part of the population who have severe mental illness and are truly unable to cope with life... but potentially disastrous for the majority of people who need discomfort at times to grow into their best selves.
