In a final ignominy, one of the robots throws a brick at him on his way out. Perhaps this ties everything together. He’s trying to preempt the creation of self-aware bricklaying robots by applying David Benatar’s arguments: the happiness of a self-aware bricklaying robot that does not exist cannot outweigh the misery of a self-aware bricklaying robot that exists. ---

I’m no good at detecting socks, but I’m pretty sure I’ve correctly pegged **EscAlaMike** as a troll. He’s brand-new, and his posts in the [Kavanaugh thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=861918) are definitely trollish. ---
