I said that EY's negative PR from writing Harry Potter fanfic couldn't get any worse.

I was wrong. He could start writing a rationalist version of this, with steamy acausial sex scenes.

hmm, how would acausal sex work, exactly?

The dating would be like this. For what comes after, look up how people have (cough so I hear) virtual sex in virtual worlds online. And there is a tantalising phrase in a footnote to the linked paper, "the sexual possibilities offered by paraconsistent logic".

Clippy doesn't exist, but according to my simulations, if he did exist he'd probably be roughly forcing me onto the bed and undoing my bra right now.

So hot

For bonus points, you could build a robot to enact the actions determined by the simulations.

Then he'd forget all about you as he started making your bra wire into a paperclip.

There are so many avenues to troll a website like this I'm disappointed.
