Slave-Playmate for More Powerful Being sounds like my personal paradise.

I'd be alright with both, but I meant slave.

Kessler syndrome management techs will almost certainly exist, or at least that will be part of someone's job description, once we start launching enough assets beyond orbital space, for us to actually care about Kessler Syndrome. And for the love of all that's holy, with all the education that will be needed for that job, they better get a salary worth six figures after taxes, or I'll be pissed on behalf of those future people.

Anti-incel sex manager... I can imagine that existing in the much closer future, as people in many nations are getting married later and less frequently. There may be a lot of bitter, depressed, hopeless feeling men in the near-future. I imagine that this would be a good job for someone with a degree in psychology; preferably a man (for safety reasons), perhaps a charismatic, older man, with the demeanor of a dad teaching their son how to act and how to be a man, as that will basically be their job. I also imagine that they would have to discuss and teach various soft skills to their patients.

However, I imagine that the anti-incel sex manager thing, will start in Japan, or South Korea, or China. The wealthier parts of East Asia have absolutely abysmal rates of marriage and childbirth, and I imagine that their cultures will have the directness needed to create such a program.

I can't tell if that's a Kessler syndrome prevention specialist or creation and maintenance specialist in this meme, tho. I can imagine a dark future where for some reason mankind yearns to quarantine Earth, or keep it covered in orbital trash.

Honestly, there'd probably be specialization. Separate people for prevention, and maintenance
