Come to think of it, “share and enjoy” is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

    Agreed entirely. Heinlein is one of my top 5 sci-fi authors and you are correct. Each of his works comes in from a different angle and they’re often quite interesting. “Sexually-available pretty young women” is a consistent theme but never the point of the story. Even in_ I Will Fear No Evil_ wherein the old man main character becomes a beautiful young woman, her sex appeal is present throughout but not the point at all.

      Yeah, I can’t even hold the pretty young women thing against him, because he clearly thinks of them as people instead of objects. It’s just kind of a funny quirk, like Tarantino’s creepy foot fetish. Calm down, Grandpa, and finish the very thoughtful and nuanced story.
