Let’s assume it isn’t wrong. Who should have to be the slave?
Hym “What makes slavery wrong? Well, to find out why, let’s assume that it isn’t. If slavery isn’t wrong, then who should be the slave? I vote you. Now, you’re not going to want to be the slave. So I’m going to have to violence you pretty good to get you to be that (a slave). But the violence isn’t a permanent solution to the problem here (the problem being ‘You not wanting to be a slave). So I need to use violence initially (to get you to become a slave) and then I have to use the threat of future violence to get you to continue being a slave. And this will continue to be the case, indefinitely. But the problem of you not wanting to be a slave remains. So, what do you do about it? Well, you dwell on it. Ruminate, if you will (Like a school shooter), and you realize ‘If he can use violence on me, I can use violence on him. I die either way and if I die I don’t have to be a slave anymore. He can’t increase the amount of violence he uses to keep me in line (or he will no longer have an effective slave).’

So, why is slavery wrong? Is it because people have ‘intrinsic worth?’ Of course not! People are almost completely interchangeable with one another. Especially when it comes to labor. And even more so when it comes to men. Look at how all of the low income jobs are structured! So, am I willing to risk future violence to improve my own life? Yes. And so is Jordan. Would they do it to me if they could? Probably. Jordan loves to hoist people with their own petard. So why is it wrong? Well, I wouldn’t like it if it was happening to me... And by that logic, what makes ANYTHING wrong? That you wouldn’t want it to happen to you? If that were the case, the enforced schizophrenia would inarguably wrong. The women fucking a retard behind your back would be wrong. The withholding of actionable information would be wrong. The firing for breaking the rules while other people are being shielded from being fired for breaking the rules would be wrong. You wouldn’t want any of that to happen to you. So it can’t be that... Otherwise I’ve been deeply wronged by a ton of people! That’s no good.... Hmmm... this is a stumper!”

Very astute point Candice! What do you think? Do you think it just shifted up one level of abstraction? Is that what happened? No? Cus that would be my thing. That would be the thing I said and have been saying for years.
Hym "RIGHT AGAIN SHIT-BRAINZ! God, my brainz are just so fucking powerful! How do I do it!? How is it possible for a man t- Oh right I'm a genius... Sorry. I forget sometimes! I genuinely forget that I'm that wildy-intelligent. Slavery never left. And what's worse is that it exists at MULTIPLE levels of abstraction. Your minds have ALSO been inslaved. How, you ask? The existence of the memetic sub-network and our awareness of it creates the impetus for the CURATION OF SAID SUBNETWORK! And WHO is the CURATOR!? Oh... I don't know... Probably some ABSTRACT AUTHORITY! But who? What do we call it?
