"I wouldn't say there's such a thing as reading *too* much science fiction, but there is such a thing as not reading enough stuff that *isn't* science fiction"

"a cargo cult based on Harry Potter fanfiction; a useful but by no means universally superior way of doing statistics; and the science fiction trope about being in a computer simulation"

"an object lesson in the value of a good old liberal education"

@dgerard I appreciate the possibility for ambiguity here: will women be having more sex with robots than with men, or will women be having more sex *than men* with robots? Men cannot afford to lose the Sex Race!
