Abstract
In his book Artificial Intimacy, evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks provides yet another example of an attempt to use upcoming technology advances to provide a solution to grievances expressed by the Incel (Involuntarily celibate) community. While countering the Incel movement is important, since they have recently begun to engage in acts of domestic terrorism, sex technology cannot provide any sort of solution to the problem they represent, regardless of how advanced that technology becomes. This essay aims to make that clear and end such approaches more generally.
