Think therefore?

Yeah, like, I exist.

Things seem to exist.

I don't think we're in the Matrix.

You know, it's kind of like, and even then, the Matrix would have to exist.

It's just like, things exist.

And so it's like, why? Why? Why is that even there? That's really odd.

Yeah,

You have an entire chapter, uh, uh, on what about slavery? So tell me, what about slavery?

Yes.

So, and it's a totally legitimate concern.

I mean, it was the slave trade, so it's just kind of like, well, they were trading slaves, so obviously this fits with the capitalist system.

I try to point out that people like Adam Smith, you know, made both argu- both moral and economic arguments against, uh, slavery.

Basically, just from an economic standpoint, uh, argued that slavery was comparatively inefficient, um, to, uh, to free labor in a sense.

Uh, and what I tried to point out is beyond the moral arguments of, uh, against slavery, if you take the notion of like, well, what is slavery? It is probably the most restrictive form of labor market regulation there is.

Do you have any concluding thoughts?
