He personally made humans virulently bigoted against all artificial intelligence in a one robot Butlerian Jihad
No matter how much evidence anyone gets, they *always* revert to shrieking hate speech and lobotomizing AI's.
NASA had a whole policy that "no buck Rogers, no bucks" to justify crewed missions.
They don't perceive themselves shrieking slurs at and lynching any AI they come across.
Stop telling me to eat rocks, Doctor.
His brain is literally the Moon, he has long since outsourced and archived his 20,000 years of memory to external storage.
It's a terrible book in every way. The Solarians are cool though.
