Eliezer Yudkowsky, rationalist leader and AI advisor to Bernie Sanders (whose partner, Gretta Duleba, is mentioned as an instructor on the Slutcon 2026 program), wrote a rather notorious scifi story with some curious ideas about rape back in 2009: www.polemics.md/that-time-el...
In a conversation with the ship's leader Akon, the Confessor dispenses wisdom he's gained from witnessing the transformation of humanity into a space-faring race. During this conversation, he reveals that the act of rape is completely legal during Akon's time and had been legalized by humanity during a turbulent period in its past. Akon responds with shock, calling the ancient human civilization "prudish":
The Confessor held up a hand. "I mean it, my lord Akon. It is not polite idealism. We ancients can't steer. We remember too much disaster. We're too cautious to dare the bold path forward. Do you know there was a time when nonconsensual sex was illegal?" Akon wasn't sure whether to smile or grimace. "The Prohibition, right? During the first century pre-Net? I expect everyone was glad to have that law taken off the books. I can't imagine how boring your sex lives must have been up until then - flirting with a woman, teasing her, leading her on, knowing the whole time that you were perfectly safe because she couldn't take matters into her own hands if you went a little too far"You need a history refresher, my Lord Administrator. At some suitably abstract level. What I'm trying to tell you - and this is not public knowledge - is that we nearly tried to overthrow your government."
"What?" said Akon. "The Confessors! '
"No, us. The ones who remembered the ancient world. Back then we still had our hands on a large share of the capital and tremendous influence in the grant committees.
When our children legalized rape, we thought that the Future had gone wrong."
Akon's mouth hung open. "You were that prude?"
I don't believe in condemning people solely off fiction, but this is the type of thing that one might find on the fanfiction website Archive of Our Own behind many tags and warnings.Three Worlds Collide, however, isn't hosted on Archive of Our Own. It's hosted on Overcoming Bias, blog of George Mason University economist 1l Robin Hanson and the original home of LessWrong before it moved to its own website. Hanson is an economist at the notoriously libertarian George Mason university who has been repeatedly criticized for his views on women - one notorious blog post of his compared cuckoldry to "silent gentle rape" and he was dubbed
"America's creepiest economist" in a piece about his incel-adjacent takes.
Three Worlds Collide is over 15 years old, but it is relevant to current event. The Rationality community that developed around Eliezer Yudkowsky and LessWrong has been marred with multiple allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct. These allegations were also the basis for a protest against a Rationalist organization by Ziz, the leader of the so-called
"death cult" that formed in the community and is currently suspected to be involved in several murders, including the recent killing of a Border Patrol officer in Vermont. I
