    Dang that’s crazy.

    I hate this is almost 10 years old (from 2017)

    Really seems like something that should be studied more often if it’s not already.

      Slavery is a complicated field to study, for obvious reasons, so the data is often sparse. But I wholeheartedly agree.

      Did you ever consider this crazy idea, that we as a species are developing backwards from holy half-gods to primitive aliens to this wonderful planet?

        Daily…We know so much in these days but what do we do with it? More greed, more egocentrism, more…well, you know :-( But there’s a good reason I’m misanthropist. Not because i hate people per se, but it’s hard to find decent people amongst the sea of ignorance.
