Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”

- Not the Assyrians

The author has made a career out of the notion of Fisherian runaways as the proximate cause of all that afflicts the world. Which is more than a little disengenuous considering he wrote a dating book with Tucker Max that's got an endorsement from Neil Strauss on the cover.

Evolutionarily speaking:

IF: cybersex becomes the ultimate goal for both sexes

THEN: any member of either sex with a genetic aversion to cybersex (puking in VR, say, or inner ear problems) becomes the dominant strain within very few generations

THEREFORE: cybersex ceases to be a problem from a civilizational standpoint. QED.

It's easy to get eyeballs by saying "this time it's different" and whatever malady is afflicting us has never afflicted us before. Historically speaking, though, vast swaths of humanity go through life just doing their thing without moving the needle. If 999,999 men buy RealDolls but one guy improves lasers, it doesn't matter that 99.999% of all men have disappeared up their own fleshlights. Lasers are still better. Is the innovation factor above or below replacement? Well, I've seen the ZOMG VR Apocalypse decried three times in my life now and here we are, six years after the kickstarter, two years after they showed up at Best Buy, and I know one (1) person with an Oculus. He bought it for work. With their money. Because they heard VR was going to be a thing now.

Uncanny Vulvas, by the way, is a 5,000 word elaboration on the Robert Heinlein assertion that sex is the prime motivator behind all art and technology in the history of civilization because try and think of a single invention or major work of art by a eunuch you can't can you see I told you so.

“Human bipolarity was both the binding force and the driving energy for all human behavior, from sonnets to nuclear equations. If any being thinks that human psychologists exaggerate on this point, let it search Terran patent offices, libraries, and art galleries for creations of eunuchs.”
