An Overview and History of Common Types of Slavery

As much as people typically associate slavery with whips and chains and the images of the Southern United States, slavery is a vital process for any civilization and occurs in every nation at all times.

Slavery the means of compelling people to do work, undertake tasks, or behave in certain ways which they would otherwise be reluctant to do naturally without the external pressure placed upon them by the slave master.

As much as people like to think everyone is somehow self-motivated and compelled to better their life and their community through rational decision making, hard work, a desire for self-improvement, and a general sense of humility, selflessness, and benevolence towards the greater good; this is seldom the case.

Most people need to be compelled to work. Most people are naturally work shy and only work when compelled to do so by external forces. In a modern society, these external forces often need to be applied by a third party to ensure that the person produces work, simply because the natural factors which once compelled humans to work have been minimized due to technological advancement.

In this article, I explain the evolution of slavery.

Natural Slavery

Natural Slavery is being enslaved by nature. This is the most basic form of slavery and it is what compels all conscious, non-human life to perpetuate itself. �Unconscious life is compelled by chemical interactions which I wouldn�t consider slavery.

Birds, animals, and fish work tirelessly every day to survive. They work hard to sustain themselves, and they do this instinctively in order to avoid the pain of dying. If the animal is reluctant to find food or protect itself, the animal experiences physical pain and suffering which compels it to act.

The "whip" in this situation is natural pain, and this is the most basic and most compelling force, even in humans, because the human is an animal at the tail end of a very long line of evolution which relied almost entirely upon using pain to compel animals to survive.

The "chains" of Natural Slavery are the inescapable fact that the animal is alive. Generally, only humans commit suicide, so for most every other animal, these chains are inescapable thus leaving the animal no choice but to work tirelessly every day to avoid the pain of dying.

Natural Slavery has historically compelled humans in the early days of the species, but as reliable as it is, it has its shortcomings.

Somebody who is naturally enslaved seeks only to avoid the pain of dying, and were there no greater means of slavery invented by people, humans would never have risen above the level of animals. This is because once contented by the absolvement of pain, then they would seek no further improvement and perform no additional actions beyond what is necessary in keeping themselves alive.

While suicide is a way to escape the chains of natural slavery, few humans are tempted by this due to their natural instinct to survive shared with all other animals which generally inhibits suicidal behavior very successfully.

Agriculture and Natural Slavery

Instead, the major problem with natural slavery in humans initially arose with the Agricultural Revolution, and then became much more significant during the Industrial Revolution, and this was that the accessibility of food meant people's natural pain was easily soothed, and this meant idleness and unproductivity during times they did not feel the pain of dying compelling them to work.

When the Agricultural Revolution arose, the increased amount of idle non-work time became evident in these societies, and even if they still worked hard to farm and protect themselves, this was efficient enough to save time out of the natural routine.

Survival within natural slavery is a 24/7 process including necessary rest, and the advent of agriculture meant survival could be ensured with a fraction of the time spent doing so because of the efficiency of food production from agriculture is so high when compared to hunting and gathering. The natural schedule of human life was changed, the amount of work-time reduced, and this meant idle time now existed in the schedule.

The bright and conspiring minds of the time noticed that people were not working sometimes. Many agrarian revolutionaries were idle, even if this was just sometimes, and there are many reasons which might compel a person to question this idleness.

Instinct alone makes you question idleness, because excess idleness is naturally associated with sickness and death. Some people see the benefit of agriculture when compared to hunting and gathering, they see the benefit of innovation, and they want to find a way to "farm innovation". People also begin to see that the idle time as destructive and problematic, since "idle hands are the devil's workshop" held true 10,000 years ago just as much as it does today.

Idleness gives into wasting once it becomes a significant portion of the day, and watching people wasting away, sick with idleness, watching the damage it causes, compels these people to invent other types of slavery beyond Natural Slavery. Wasting induced by idleness remains a serious problem today, and this can still be directly attributed to the lack of proper slaving techniques.

Physical Slavery

This is the first type of slavery invented. Physical Slavery is very easy to deduce, because one can quickly learn that pain always compels an animal to move in an attempt to escape the pain. Logically, you induce pain, and ensure that the only direction that the person can move to escape the pain is in the direction of work.

This is a way of adding more pain into the recipe for natural slavery, in return, causing humans to produce higher amounts of work to avoid this pain. Physical slavery was effective because it relied on the most basal instinct of humans, which is working to avoid pain. Even though this pain was artificial, the instinct to work to avoid pain was entirely natural, and people easily become accustomed to this situation.

The "chains" here are some form of imprisonment; a slave-catcher, something causing the inability to escape, or even a voluntary disinterest in wild living when compared to farm life; and the "whip" here is the physical pain induced by the slaver.

That being said, you are not whipping this person 24/7, one whipping can lead to a week of work or more, once the physical association of pain is associated with the lack of work, people remain compelled to work until that connection fades enough for them to shirk work enough to be worthy of whipping, and this refreshes the connection in the mind of the slave.

At this time, people were natural enough that they could survive in the wild, so escape remained a viable option until after enough generations of people, the natural wisdom necessary to survive in the wild has faded, people no know other life than domesticated agrarian life, and at which point, these people are less tempted by escape because they know no life other than enslavement.

Though this is the typical form of slavery people associate with the word, this is by no means the most common or useful type. This is labor intensive upon the slaver, and just like most other aspects of human society such as farming and construction have improved over time, slavery has benefitted from innovation and become more advanced and efficient over time.

Fear Slavery

The first innovation upon Physical Slavery was Fear Slavery. Slavers noticed that some of their slaves would work due to the fear of pain, without needing to be subjected to the pain itself. This was always appreciated by the slaver because when people work without being whipped, this means the slaver has to do less work to keep his slaves working.

Understanding that people who feared the whip of physical slavery would be compelled to work as long as they knew the pain of the whip, this inspired slavers to find something which people would fear enough to compel them to work, without having to physically whip each person.

Remember that the human is naturally a middle-of-the-road scavenger type animal, and is naturally still very susceptible to fear, and especially the fear of the unknown and fear of more powerful creatures. The human mind perceives threats very easily because neither feral humans nor our ancestors were apex predators in the slightest.

There are many lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and other things in Africa which can easily hunt and kill humans. Due to this evolution among natural threats, fear compels humans very easily because the species was adapted to be more responsive to fear than any instinct to fight.

God as the Predator

The technology which facilitates Fear Slavery is religion. Generally, people aren't particularly intelligent, especially 4,000 years ago, but religion is incredibly powerful because it preys upon the basic instincts of the human being rather than attempt to educate them.

Religion preys upon this animal instinct, the fear of the unknown, the fear of the greater predator, and then associates this with desired behaviors in slaves. You teach people that the "sky predator" is watching them and will attack them if they don't work hard, this convinces many people to work.

People are generally gullible, especially when this information comes from a human perceived to be more powerful than they are, such as a slaver. Being in this position of power over his people, the slaver uses his position to teach people about religion, to fear God, and how to behave if they don�t want to face the wrath of God. God is given credit for bad things people don�t understand, and this scares people enough to listen to the slaver.

The investment in religion becomes very powerful, because this fear of the "sky predator", God, is inescapable. People cannot hide from God, people are never safe from God, and this makes them constantly believe they are under threat.

Religion also serves a purpose to answer many of the questions people have such as "Why am I here?" and "Where did I come from?". The folklore aspect of religion answers these questions, and when God is now given the credit for creating the person, the person who believes God created him or his ancestors is much more willing to put faith in God. The man who provides the slave the satisfactory explanation of his circumstance through divine intervention is now seen as wise and credible, and this makes the slave willing to further trust what this man says.

Now, in the position of the wise man, the slaver and religious leader makes the most of this by paring the fear of God with morality. By doing this you are teaching slaves that perpetuating behaviors beneficial to society is the only way to avoid the punishment of God, and their fear of God and faith in God compels them to uphold these moral principles. (This is an article I wrote about morality.)

The power of fear as the primary "whip" proved to be powerful enough to cause man to become psychologically averse to considering many natural behaviors that are harmful to society such as theft or rape, because the prohibition of these actions are generally contrary to basal human instinct without the artificial fear compelling them to avoid them.

(For example, an untrained dog has no reluctance to try and fuck you or steal your food, and the same would be true with feral humans save for a greater degree of fear due to the fact that humans are largely herbivorous scavengers and dogs, descendants of wolves, are apex predators.)

Fear of punishment has seldom stopped a thief from stealing because the thief knows that if they are not caught, then they are not punished. The fear of God is invaluable here because the slave with faith believes that God is always watching him and will punish him if he steals. It is only through exploiting the human�s instinctive fear that this conditioning can be produced, but the ancient Fear Slavers were very good at using religion to produce this effect.

Faith in God easily convinces people that they will be caught and punished if they do something wrong, but this relies entirely upon the person genuinely believing that God is real, that God is watching him, and that God punishes those who commit immoral acts. God, more so the Wrath of God, exists within the human mind in the same position as a predator would in the mind of a natural human, and this natural instinct to avoid becoming prey for a predator is the same instinct harnessed to ensure that a man develops faith.

Still, the only way to ensure that the fear of God is an effective means of condition is to ensure that people believe in God. If the person doesn't believe in God, the benefits and advancements of Fear Slavery become powerless and this slave is suddenly worth much less since it now must be governed by physical slavery or death.

Ensuring Fear of God

Ensuring that most people develop faith in God isn't hard, it just requires work. This work consists of the slaver "enacting the wrath of God", by means such as public executions for those who act contrary to morality.

The essential part here is to teach the slaves that you are executing these people to "avert the wrath of God", rather than to benefit the slavers or instill morality in the people. People generally don't understand benefit or morality in the objective sense, but this fear of the unknown and preexisting faith in God causes them to genuinely believe that this execution must be done to avoid the wrath of God and is completely independent from the motives of any mortal man.

Though people do not understand the empirical forces which create the value of public execution such as optimization and morality, the thing all people do understand is pain and death. By presenting these people the pain and death of a public execution, then forming the psychological connection to the wrath of God, people now consciously associate real pain and real death with the wrath of God.

The main way of doing this is to utilize mob mentality to ensure that humans believe that this is done for divine reasons. When the slaver shouts that this execution is to avoid divine punishment, the most gullible of people will agree instantly because they fear God, the slaver has power over them, the slaver teaches them about God and is a credible source in that respect, and their fear of the slaver makes him unquestionable. Easily 60-80% of people are in this boat, especially women and children.

Whatever the big powerful man says is right in the eyes of these people, they do not question him due to fear, and often respect because they see slaver is beneficial to society, helping organize people, teaching them about God. The slaves see these beneficial actions expected of traditional leaders of communities, and these actions help build the reputation of the slaver as a benevolent force.

When this majority of people has a good deal of faith in the fact that these executions are carried out to avoid divine punishment, the minority of people prone to questioning now understand that they are the minority.

To question the majority is to risk the condemnation of the mob, which is itself a death sentence, especially when people believe that these acts of faith are a matter of life and death, seeing them as necessary to avoid the wrath of God.

Communal Stoning

One of the most valuable tools for forming a powerful mob mentality was (and still is) communal stonings. This is because when the slaves themselves are expected to stone the wicked to death personally, these slaves now form the "Us vs Them" mentality, where they either identify with the mob or the person being stoned to death. (Stoning People Artcile)

People always want to avoid death, so it's easy for them to decide they want to be on the side throwing stones than the side of the person being stoned, and when the mob is divine and righteous, this makes it much harder for people to question the mob.

Even more added power to the public stoning is the fact that people naturally feel guilt and empathy. These are painful feelings, and stoning a person to death will cause a person to question themselves, for having ended another life, and this questioning and guilt becomes justified only by the divine mandates of God.

People cannot understand the objective and empirical benefit to society produced by stoning people to death, so they can't justify these killings with long-term yields, stability within society, and health of their community. Even if they could, their natural instinctive empathy and mutualistic fear of death would condemn this stoning, even though it is objectively beneficial.

This inability for the human mind to respect the objective value of executions of detrimental individuals has become a serious problem in our society today. Nowadays, unquestionably beneficial executions of detrimental people are condemned by the people, allowing countless objectively detrimental individuals to survive and continue causing detriment to society.

This modern empathy for detriment shows just is how powerful the mutual fear of death is. It is a natural and ancient instinct, and this is why it is so powerful, even the smallest animals will feel stress if they see a member of their species die, easily even bugs have this instinct. People know that "If this guy is killed, I could be next" and this causes them to condemn executions.

It was only through the fear of God that people could justify taking part in these executions with their instinct, and doing this essentially causes the person to become psychologically dependent upon their faith in God in order to avoid the haunting pain and guilt of having killed another human.

With the slaves who have participated in this communal stoning now psychologically dependent upon their faith in God to avoid painful guilt, this causes them to double down on their faith. This increased faith now means increased compliance with the moral laws of the religion, for more than just a fear of a painful death by stoning, but now also for fear of the pain of instinctive, yet entirely maladaptive, guilt.

Moral Fear Slavery is the historical social backbone of true civilizations because this process effectively minimizes detriment, maximizes benefit, increases social cohesion, and it does this with more efficiency, reliability, thoroughness, and consistency than physical slavery.

The flaws with Moral Fear Slavery are that it requires a consistent ability to indoctrinate new generations of people, it requires the education and replacement slavers and the reindoctrinating of slaves, and because this system is entirely dependent upon Faith in God, and when this indoctrination system lapses, the entire Fear Slavery system falls apart.

This requires dutiful slavers who ensure that the proper conditioning is applied to ensure that the fear of God in the slaves is powerful enough to ensure unquestioning loyalty to the system independent of physical force. This lapse in generations of slavers being able to properly condition slaves has historically been the downfall of Fear Slavery, as seen in the Old Testament as well as in the West.

In Pure Fear Slavery, independent of supplement from Physical Slavery, the "whip" is the fear of divine punishment, and the "chains" are the faith in the reality of this divine punishment.

Modern Fear Slavery

In modern times, most priests and church officials exist in as nothing more than slaves to the faith, if they have any legitimate faith at all. The do not indoctrinate the peasants to fear God enough to uphold the moral doctrine and few peasants save for the simplest fear God, despite fear of God being the entire purpose and value provided by religion.

The Western interpretation of Jesus has disconnected faith in God from fear of God, replacing this with love of God, and as Machiavelli reminds us, �it is better to be feared than loved if one cannot be both�, and Western Jesus now dies on the cross, solely to remind us of this.

These slaves are loyal to no God, only to themselves, and they perpetuate vice and detriment to society, parading the alleged �forgiveness� of Jesus the Moral Anarchist, taunting God, mocking God�s commandments, proudly spitting in the face of Mosaic law. They destroy the objective value of religion and replace a beautiful functional machine of Fear Slavery with one that consists of pure imagination.

The wrath of God has been replaced with forgiveness, and without the wrath of God, there is no Fear Slavery. There is extensive pollution and antagonization of the faith, all condoned by the spineless church despite heresy being a capital offence in the eyes of a legitimate Fear Slaver.

Without unquestioning fear, loyalty to faith above instinct, a willingness to kill another due to one�s own fear of God, Fear Slavery loses all power. Religion becomes worthless to all but the moral anarchist looking for excuses to justify his detrimental behavior.

Religion in the West now exists as nothing more but a catalyst for vice, the few good sheep who remain mindlessly farm themselves, compelled by their own meekness, they offer the benefits and protections of morality to the wicked, the sheep led astray, indoctrinated by the godless remnants of corrupted Fear Slavers, compassionately allowing the wicked suckle the blood of the flock as if the neck of such sheep were but a teat for an innocent baby.

It is true that the meek have inherited the earth, and they grovel in the dirt as mere livestock, but the beasts fail to realize that it is the wicked who have inherited the sky. God has abandoned the people who abandoned his commandments, just as he had done countless times in the Bible.

�There is no legitimate Fear Slaver above these sheep, nobody shepherding the sheep unto morality and civilization, instead, farming these meek beasts solely to be cannibalized by the wicked in their pursuit of vice.

The unquestioning forgiveness of Jesus and the nonsensical interpretation of a �compassionate God� has allowed for the proliferation of the complimentary form of slavery, Vice-Slavery, which blatantly and unapologetically dominates the West.

Vice-Slavery

This is the most broadly practiced type of slavery in the Western world, but it has a very long history and has competed with Fear Slavery even in ancient times. Vice Slavery uses natural human instincts other than fear to compel people to work. Most of these are instincts are temptations unto pleasure such as food, drink, sex, the abatement of fear, or relaxation.

Vice slavers understand that it is the carnal instincts of man which compel him to work, and they use temptation, rather than fear, to compel him to work.

By rewarding the man with pleasure in exchange for work, this produces a high in the man which quickly fades once the consumed source of pleasure is gone. The absence of pleasure in turn causes pain and suffering in the man, and this pain and suffering compels him to work for another reward.

Vice Slavery does not produce reliable slaves due to the dependence upon physical rewards rather than instinctive fear, but it is far easier to utilize than fear slavery. It does not require any indoctrination or physical abuse to produce results, it simply relies on the ability of the slaver to produce sufficient temptations for the slaves.

Any man is always naturally susceptible to temptation, and this is one of the major advantages of Vice Slavery. It is natural instinct to seek and consume these pleasant things, and these things naturally feel good.

Those subjected to Vice Slavery have difficulty understanding the existence of those who enslave them because their slavery is rewarded with pleasure and this pleasure enthralls their minds. They see it as a relationship solely between themselves, their work, and the pleasure they seek, while the vice slaver who benefits from the work of the population of slaves remains largely invisible, much more so than a priest or a physical slaver.

This historically arose in the Near East as a challenge to local sects of Moral Fear Slavery. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah represents a city typical of vice slavery. There is no fear of God, but people are compelled to exist and perpetuate their lives in pursuit of greater pleasures.

Vice Slavery is very successful at converting people because the natural pleasure readily competes with the fear and asceticism of proper Fear Slavery. Fear Slavery is generally uncomfortable, or at least less pleasurable, and this constant fear of God causes people to be restless, constant fear is akin to suffering, which is necessary for Fear Slavery because suffering is the root cause of all work. Though the fear may be subtle, even the most moral and upright of people doubt their status in the eyes of God within the paranoid-by-necessity Fear Slavery system.

When exposed to natural pleasures, the mind is easily won over by these things, and this convinces slaves to obey these vice slavers and abandon their fear slavers, provided that the person's faith is not deeply ingrained enough to ensure they abstain from and condemn these temptations before succumbing to them.

Problems with Vice Slavery

Vice Slavery works much like a drug addiction, where the slave is consistently chasing the dragon of pleasure. The pleasure is the high, the absence of pleasure is the withdrawal, and this withdrawal compels them to work for more pleasure. This psychological process is the major flaw of vice-slavery, for all of the same reasons that one would not prefer to employ drug addicts rather than sober people.

These slaves quickly become discontented. They are trained to work for pleasure, and when they feel they are not receiving adequate pleasure, they become upset. This becomes incredibly detrimental when pleasure is scarce, but especially when these slaves have very high tolerance for pleasure.

Endless pleasure builds tolerance to even extremely pleasurable feelings, and this means after a long stint of Vice Slavery, the rewards which once compelled a slave to work hard are no longer effective, this means greater rewards must continually be offered over time to get the same results from the slave.

The justification of one's existence through the pursuit of pleasure means that people seek ease of life and quality of life. An easy life makes people make people reluctant to work, because working less pleasant than idle ease without suffering or consuming the pleasures of vice, and much like a drug addict in withdrawal has difficulty working, those enslaved by vice find themselves having this same difficulty, these people would rather be consuming pleasure, and work becomes painful.

This is compared to work within a Fear Slavery system, where work is generally more tolerable due to the prohibition of pleasure seeking. A person who has never tried heroin is not crippled by his desire to shoot heroin, but the man who has experienced it now finds that thought inescapable and crippling as he is forced to work for his fix.

Those enslaved by Fear Slavery find their pleasure in the feeling of "safety" in that they've worked hard and avoided the wrath of God. You ran away from the monster and got away, you feel relief, rather than pleasure. The key is that with relief, unlike with pleasure, is the removal of a stimulus rather than the addition of one. You don't need to increase the potency of relief because this is removal of a stimulus to revert the person to their baseline and then gain the desired effect, whereas adding stimulus to produce a desired effect requires the stimulus to be potent enough.

There are also modest social pleasures such as friends and family which may compel people to work, as well as a sense of duty within Fear Slavery, but these social pleasures extend across all types of slavery.

Vice Slavery in the Western Powers

Vice Slavery is an incredibly flawed system, but it is utilized by the major Western powers because it is the easiest to utilize, especially given the historical moral Anarchy of post-Enlightenment Western Nations and the natural abundance and accessibility of consumable pleasure in the West.

Unfortunately, much of the social, psychological, and moral decay associated with Vice Slavery has already taken place. People are generally discontented and "can't get high anymore", and this is causing significant problems in the West such as reluctance to work and psychological dysfunction.

This Vice Slavery was spurred by the Industrial Revolution and the collapse in social cohesion throughout the 19^th and 20^th century resulting from the diasporas of people created by urbanization and the pursuit of work.

The abandonment of social entrenchment where a person is born, along with long hours working, often by parents, meant that passed-down morality quickly lapsed as people were too consumed by work and too separated from people like village elders which may have indoctrinated the youth in the absence of parents.

This lapse in voluntary slave-to-slave conditioning, as combined with the inherent godlessness of non-theocratic nations such as the USA means that for the last 150+ years there has been little to no effort spent by one generation to instill the remnants of the Fear Slavery which built Europe into the subsequent generations.

Some general principles still hold such as work ethic, the necessity of work to survive, but even these are lapsing in today�s world with comical �give me free everything and fuck you� platforms of the socialists.� Morality is long gone, and today we see even the most basic tenet of slavery, the backbone of civilization, brutally harangued by useless idiots who have no understanding of reality beyond their crippling addiction to consumptive vice and inability to provide for themselves due to this.

The problem is that the majority of this Vice-Slavery in the West is riding upon the successes of the Fear Slavery which once dominated Europe in the absence of readily consumable pleasure. It was the generally decent if lazy morality, altruism, and industry of these slaves which set the stage for industry and the economy to flourish. As these traits have slowly been replaced by compulsion unto vice, the West has been taking an increasing net-loss annually to the socio-economic value of their slaves for over a century despite gains being made in areas such as technology and industry.

Metaphorically this is like cannibalism, with the majority of vice-slavery sustaining itself by cannibalizing the successes and residual wealth of the past built by those indoctrinated unto work by Fear Slavery, and this problem will brutally rear its head when the corpse of the West has been picked clean by these cannibals.

At the point of collapse, the cannibal slaves are too crippled by consumptive vice to be productive but there is no longer any pleasure for them to cannibalize. These slaves riot, trying to pick the bones clean, desperately searching for some high they believe to be there, taking anything they can find, and the West burns as the economy collapses due to the mismanagement of the slave population. Remember, 99% of people are slaves here.

The Short Lifespan of Vice Slavery Systems

While consumerism is creeping into other powers like China, China is still largely governed by Fear Slavery and in some cases Physical Slavery. While there is some consumerism in China, this is done in moderation in an attempt to ameliorate the suffering caused by incessant paranoia. This is akin to giving opiates responsibly to reduce pain, rather than trying to compel people to work by paying them in opiates.

The West is almost entirely reliant upon Vice Slavery to compel people to work, there is no fear of punishment for indolence or treachery, there is no fear of God, people are compelled entirely by their pursuit of consumptive pleasure, and they believe that the most fruitful ventures are the cannibalistic acts of parading entitlement and indignation.

This heavy reliance upon Vice Slavery proven to be unreliable in terms of producing consistent results from the slaves, relying entirely on beneficial and circumstantial traits such as social paranoia, duty to family, or insatiable thirst for vice to compel people to work hard.

Vice Slavery becomes very discontenting to people as their growing tolerance to the endless pleasure causing them to suffer in pain despite the heroin of consumerism being shot into their veins. The tolerance of these people is so high they have become immune to the analgesia and euphoria of consumeristic Vice Slavery which the state relies upon compelling these people to work.

�In the eyes of Western Vice-slaves, they cry "I am suffering endlessly and you do nothing to help", despite being pumped full of the strongest analgesics the Vice Slavers of the West can offer. The state has considerable difficult coaxing these people to work, as the basic argument of �work in exchange for pleasure� is meaningless when tolerance to pleasure renders these people incapable of feeling it.

The "meme depression" and desperate pleasures such as sexual fetishism, drug abuse, and incessant consumption of mass media are evidence of the Western vice slaves trying to "find a vein that hasn't collapsed", because many of their prior pursuits of pleasure no longer reward them psychologically.

Endless pleasure has become so rampant that these problems listed above common among youths who have not even begun to work, but due to being raised suckling the teat of endless consumer pleasure without work, they now feel no pleasure from consumption and often have no will to live.

They see the concept of work as "working for nothing but perpetuating my suffering" because tolerance to pleasure has left them unable to feel that there is any reward being offered for doing so. These are children stuck in permanent withdrawal from the drug of pleasure because their tolerance became so extreme, they can't even get high anymore.

The youth, they try shooting up consumerism, they feel nothing, and now there is nothing compelling them to chase the dragon which Vice-Slavery depends upon them chasing. The tragedy is that this pain of constant withdrawal is the pain they are actively consuming the pleasure of vice. If you were to take this incessant pleasure from them, they would become further crippled and unable to work.

In vice slavery, the "chains" are the addiction to pleasure, and the "whip" is the withdrawal from pleasure.

Debt Slavery

Debt Slavery is a symptom of Vice Slavery. There was nothing compelling you to take on the debt, but you chose to take on the debt to pursue vice. More often than not debt is accrued from trivial things, often from the mismanagement of resources and feckless spending in pursuit of consuming pleasure.

Even healthcare is the vice of pursuing immortality, because real healthcare in general is a good investment for slavers. The immense cost of healthcare in the West is caused by irreverent healthcare, which is the futile pursuit of immortality.

A slaver wants healthy slaves because healthy slaves make him the most money and cost less in terms of upkeep. So long as the slaver turns a profit by investing in your healthcare, then this is a good investment.

If solely proper healthcare was pursued, then healthcare would always be free. If it costs $10,000 to fix you, and you will yield $50,000 profit from your labor before you die, this is a sound investment that all reasonable slavers would make.

The reason why healthcare is so expensive is because needless healthcare is either the product of the vices consumed by the slaves, or ultimately another temptation of pleasure offered by the vice-slavers. Beyond paying for self-induced trauma due to vice consumption, these slavers tempt you with immortality, and clearly, immortality is expensive.

This is illogical, even from the perspective of a vice slaver, because this really hurts the profit margins on the society, but when you enslave a massive band of addicts, they will quickly become irrational if you try to prevent them from chasing a high.

The pursuit of immortality is the high that the addict slaves want, and the vice slaver has no choice but to offer this destructive investment, contrary to his own success, because he knows the addicts will become unruly if subjected to actual discipline rather than indulgence in vice.

The Burden of Irreverent Healthcare

This website lists the top ten healthcare costs in the United States.

https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/about/costs/index.htm

The major cost of healthcare is caused by tending to the ramifications of vice consumption within the population. It's not that doctors are greedy bastards, it's that everyone and their mother is deathly ill with the side effects of a lifetime of Vice Slavery.

Heart Disease and Stroke: Generally caused by vices such as smoking, alcohol, and obesity.

Obesity, Diabetes, Tooth Decay: Caused by poor diet, a temptation and vice.

Cancer: Many causes, many of which are vices such as smoking, poor diet, and idleness. Non-self-induced cancer falls into the same pursuit of immortality due to the age of victims.

Arthritis and Alzheimer�s: A symptom of the pursuit of immortality. These are poor investments which generally do not produce a profit.

Epilepsy: This is actually a natural illness and the most forgivable on the list.

Epilepsy caused by Brain Damage becomes a questionable investment based upon the future yield of the individual. Epilepsy caused by alcoholism is again a symptom of Vice Slavery.

Some of the remaining epilepsy can be attributed to genetics, meaning this has been caused by the poor management of slave stocks by allowing random reproduction to perpetuate these genetics rather than culling undesirable traits. (Sexual mismanagement is a far more serious problem than Epilepsy. This article provides a brief introduction of the topic. Asshole article.)

Most of the remaining epilepsy is caused by brain infections which are forgivable and generally cure themselves. 3.4 million people have active Epilepsy in the United States, and I am presuming the majority of these people are generally functional and capable of work.

If America was not stricken with these side-effects of Vice Slavery, the costs of health insurance would plummet. Healthcare is free, but it is very expensive to tend to the self-induced symptoms of vice slavery.

Childhood Cancer

This pursuit of immortality which has stricken the West I find the most self-evident in Childhood cancer, and to an easily more costly but less extreme degree, Type 1 Diabetes.

Childhood cancer is a pump-and-dump scheme because you can birth and rear a new child for less money than it costs to cure the child with cancer. You are paying a high premium for a child that is no more valuable than other children and can possibly die.

The average cost of childhood cancer is $833,000 a year for the family. Source: https://cac2.org/interest-groups/awareness/childhood-cancer-fact-library/

Today a slave costs about $90 on average worldwide. (Source: Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy.) https://www.freetheslaves.net/our-model-for-freedom/slavery-today/

For the cost to treat a child with cancer for one year, you can buy 9255 real human slaves. Is that child more valuable than 9255 humans? No. Even if you want to give them rights and freedom, that's fine, but you are much better off buying the slaves and letting the child die than treating the child with cancer. (Great sitcom pitch right here, Family of 9257.)

It is these sorts of completely irrational and disproportional investments which cause "healthcare induced debt slavery". The reason that the health insurance costs so much is because you are all incredibly sick and the vast majority of healthcare expenses are direct losses with the beneficiary producing no return on investment.

These companies need to recoup the losses they take on the endless irrational investments in irreverent healthcare, and the only people capable of paying these fees are the people who are not too sick to work.

Don't say "boo hoo muh chilluns" because at least one of the 9255 slaves you could have bought instead will die an early death. The global mortality rate of humans aged 5 to 14 in 2019 is 6.7 per 1,000. That means if each of those 9255 slaves is aged 5 to 14, 62 of them will die within the year.

https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/indicators/indicator-details/GHO/mortality-rate-for-5-14-year-olds-(probability-of-dying-per-1000-children-aged-5-14-years)

Seeing how I'm sure if the U.S. healthcare system bought these 9255 saves, they could easily prevent the death of more than two of them. The mortality rate of Americans between 5 to 14 years old is 1.37, so just by importing these slaves into America you save the lives of 50 children, all for the same cost of treating that one child with cancer.

Saying "boo hoo muh chilluns" doesn't work here. You choose to kill 50 children and steal 9205 slaves from our nation, all so you can treat the childhood cancer for a year.

This is what I'm saying when these sorts of pursuits of immortality are completely irrational. We choose to treat childhood cancer for a year rather than buying 9205 comparably valuable slaves and saving the lives of 50 children in the process, all in the hopes of saving one American child.

In debt slavery, the "chains" are the person's inability to manage money properly, and the "whip" is the necessity of money to survive.

Duty slavery

Duty Slavery is a contemporary evolution of Fear Slavery which replaces fear with duty to one's people and nation. This was famously common in Japan and still is to this day to some extent, but this was also a very valuable form of slavery for early America.

America had no real means to enforce Physical Slavery upon the early colonists and settlers due to the low population density. Fear Slavery had been the traditional means of enslaving people, but as the power of nations grew, the fear of state had become a necessity in addition to fear of God for successful Fear Slavery. This was a problem for America, because in early America there was essentially no state to fear, the population was incredibly scattered, and fear of God does not ensure loyalty to country.

America resolves this problem with Duty Slavery. America, with no real means to tempt people, a religious and ethnic diaspora, and no meaningful physical force with which to threaten, America instead takes credit for "giving the people freedom".

In reality, America simply had no means to take this freedom from people, so they decide to argue they are giving you "the gift of freedom" which in turn produces a sensation of indebtedness within the people. Despite early America having no way to take the freedom from most people, the slaves think "America gave me this freedom, and I now owe a debt to America which I must repay by fighting for it and defending it."

This has become a longstanding belief within America, this sense of obligation and duty to America in exchange for the gift of freedom. This sort of slavery relies upon a high degree of social sensitivity within the population and the ability to feel obligation to somebody who gives them a "gift". This was very common in European culture, and this is why it worked so well in America.

The issue with American Duty Slavery is that while it does build a strong degree of loyalty to the state in most people, the state has so little structure that there is no valuable behavioral or moral conditioning associated ingrained with this Duty Slavery.

The value of Fear Slavery was more than just compelling people to work hard out of fear, which American Duty Slavery traditionally did, but the greater value was the ability to psychologically associate the fear God with moral laws which people felt compelled to uphold.

American Duty Slavery does not associate this duty with upholding morality, but only with upholding freedom. Freedom, unfortunately, is the antithesis of morality, and America is currently being ravaged by vice-slavery as we speak due to the inability of American Duty Slavery to instill real morality. �(Freedom Article?)

Japanese Duty Slavery

This contrasts with Japanese Duty Slavery, because the Japanese have a very strong sense of duty, honor, and responsibility to one's nation and family. These are very moralistic systems which antagonize detriment and reward benefit, just as things like traditional Mosaic law have done.

There is intense pressure upon people to uphold this duty, and intense social stigma if they fail to uphold this duty. This is how Duty Slavery is properly applied, because the public disdain for those who are dishonorable replaces the act of communal stonings.

The fear of failing to uphold duty follows men into their homes, it haunts them, and this helps ensure that they remain dutiful. Act like seppuku and kamikaze demonstrate the power that Duty Slavery has to compel people to act in accordance with the expectations of society, solely on account of duty.

The drawbacks are that Duty Slavery is an explicitly and entirely human system. Traditional Fear Slavery has the infallibility of God to empower it, but Duty Slavery relies upon the nation, state, and people which oneself is loyal remaining of high enough quality that one willingly feels obliged to uphold one's duty to them.

If the slavers within a Duty Slavery fail to be worthy of unquestionable duty, then the slaves are no longer loyal to the state, the state is dishonorable and there is no honor in respecting them. Granted that American Duty Slavery is a poor example due to having no moral codes attached to the Duty Slavery, Japanese Duty Slavery is a good example of this.

The Fall of Japanese Duty Slavery

Following the defeat of the Japanese in WW2, the sense of duty to the government fell because there the infallibility and power of the government was destroyed by their defeat. Surrender was very dishonorable within Japan, and the defeat rattled the code of duty within the nation. The traditional code of duty upheld by the Japanese appeared fallible due to the defeat, and people put much less faith in it than they once did.

The Japanese have always attempted to resolve this by emphasizing duty to one's family and the community more than the state, and the state benefits by proxy because the judgement of one's family and community replaces the judgement of one's state, but the government benefits because the community judges you based upon your loyalty to your people and thus the state.

Clearly, many Japanese still hold this sense of honor very highly, but the defeat of Japan in WW2 led to a subtle loosening of conviction to duty after seeing the fallibility of this duty. Along with the influence of American Vice Slavery introduced to Japan, this led to increased acceptance of detriment within the society.

There are numerous people in Japan who engage in dishonorable behavior, people like Otakus and Hikikomori, who, although idolized by the internet, are public outcastes and disrespected. Were the traditional sense of duty more ingrained into these people by social forces, these people would have become much more averse to accepting these pursuits or paths of life.

The sense of duty and honor would have compelled them to work, find a family, and try to be successful, despite any of the pain they feel, because the social pressure would not allow them to find comfort in these activities.

Despite the fact that duty remains prevalent in Japan, even this subtle weakening of the human forces responsible for establishing and upholding duty at the highest level in turn has serious consequences in regard to the quality of slaves.

Pros and Cons of Duty Slavery

The advantage of Duty Slavery is that the powerful fear necessary is replaced by a sense of duty. The fear of failing to uphold duty is severe enough to dictate behavior, but not as uncomfortable as the fear of the supernatural.

It is much easier to live your life, knowing that you are upholding duty than it is to know you are pleasing and invisible force you can't see or talk to. The constant approval of your family and community feels much like how a faithful person would feel the direct approval of God or Jesus if that was possible. This is a powerful and compelling positive feeling which is much more accessible within Duty Slavery than it is within Fear Slavery.

Though people may feel a stronger connection with humans responsible for establishing Duty Slavery, it is the fallibility of humans which is the weakness. The infallibility of God means that regardless of the human-induced situation a person is in, the fear of God can always find them and compel them to act in accordance with morality and in the interests of their slavers.

The other flaw, is that despite fear of failing to uphold duty being an extension of natural fear, it is not an entirely inescapable fear when compared to the wrath of God. The understanding that it is at least physically possible to escape punishment for forsaking duty makes the thought of doing so more accessible to people, even if this is still something very few would consider when the system of duty is managed and upheld properly.

Duty as Instinct

Duty, as odd as it may sound, is actually a natural instinct in the same right as fear and a desire for pleasure. It is the newest of these three instincts, as initially it stemmed with the mammalian necessity to nurse their young, and this is the most powerful sense of duty that a mother has towards her children, and this is observed in all mammals.

As mammals evolved, some of them became communal animals which travel in packs or herds, and monkeys, then humans are in this group. There is a strong instinct for the human to exist within a pack, and though all methods of slavery depend upon cohesion within a pack to some extent, Duty Slavery relies upon this most heavily.

In Duty Slavery, the pack becomes the source of both pleasure and pain, of fear and comfort, and psychologically exists in the same place as God within those subjected to Fear Slavery. In Duty Slavery, the "whip" is the instinctive sense of duty and fear of repercussions issued by the pack, and the "chains" are the inability to escape the reality of existing within this pack.

One's sense of self becomes defined by the pack, and the more one sees oneself as an inseparable part of this collective rather than an individual, duty within the pack and performance within the pack become far more powerful instinctive compulsions.

When the pack-mentality becomes this strong, your beliefs are defined as the beliefs of the pack because you don't see yourself as a separate entity from the pack.

This is the comparable to the mob mentality we all see in America everyday, but taken to a much more serious level, similar to one of organized crime, such as "we live together, we fight together, and we die together, the only way someone leaves the pack is death.", not the American mob mentality of "we agree on some things and like to circle-jerk each other".

In Vice Slavery the pack is simply a source of pleasure with minimized emphasis on ensuring the approval of pack members despite the human�s natural instinct to seek this anyways. While one may feel connections to a pack within Vice Slavery, these are by no means inescapable. One can easily leave the pack, go be with another pack, with minimal fear of social, emotional, economic, or physical death.

In Fear-Slavery the pack operates similarly to within Duty Slavery, but the pack is an extension of the true fear and pain provided by a supernatural entity such as God. While there certainly is social fear, social pleasure, and social pain offered by the pack, the dominant force is the fear of God shared by all members of the pack which then collectively works to avoid the wrath of God. These people feel obligated to indoctrinate others into Fear Slavery, to look out for each other, because they fear that if one member of their pack commits an immoral act, God will punish them collectively.

In Physical slavery the pack mentality isn't strong, you are ultimately a beast trying to avoid physical pain which is a much stronger instinct than duty. One feels little duty to one's master, but is personally obligated to avoid pain, and may seek to minimize pain for members of one's natural pack such as immediate family.

In natural slavery, you band together for physical protection, but pain remains the ultimate driving motive and these social bonds do not overpower one's instinct for self-preservation, again the natural pack mentality will influence you, but it will seldom extend beyond this save for physical protection.

Desperation Slavery

Desperation Slavery is not a traditional form of slavery, it is a circumstantial type of slavery that arises in a world that is already dominated by slavers. It is comparable to natural slavery in that these people generally suffer, they are hungry, and they are willing to do anything they can to find food and survive.

This is common in the 3rd world, where ultimately that which enslaves the man remains the food in his belly, and he is willing to work to attain that by any means necessary. This sort of slavery breeds criminality as when man is reduced to little more than a beast, even fear of God, if any was instilled in the first place, takes the back seat to the pain of dying.

Though the developed parts of these countries operate using the traditional means of slavery described above, those people who exist on the fringes of the system are so far removed from the indoctrination of slavers that they have receive very little conditioning.

That which conditions them and guides their behavior is the poverty and lack of available food they experience. In developed countries this can stem from mental illness or other social decohesion. It is this conditioning which teaches them survival behaviors which they rely upon to sustain themselves. Ultimately, this is the equivalent of "hunting and gathering" within an entirely unnatural urban civilization.

There are no crops, very few animals to eat, and people try to figure out any way they can to provide for themselves. Some people are able to find work and provide for themselves, learn how to survive within the traditional forms of slavery, but some remain outcaste, homeless, criminals.

These people generally either take the natural role of predator, a criminal-type which preys upon the sustenance of the domesticated humans, raiding, robbing, or otherwise taking advantage of these people to score a meal. The other type find the natural role of scavenger, and these are the types of people you see scavenging dumps, garbage cans, and other sorts of things trying to fill their belly and survive another day.

There is little to no pack mentality here, "there is no honor among thieves", so they say. While some people may band together, they do so loosely, using each other as a means to a mutually desired end, even if this is just idle company, rather than out of any sense of duty to one another.

Many of these people are lone wolves, some may have a family, but when you demonstrate a capacity for social bonding such as having a family, you will more often than not be accepted into one of the more traditional forms of slavery due to your social skills.

Ignorance Slavery

This is not a historical form of slavery, but instead one that has recently been enabled by technology. The most difficult part of slavery has always been the fact that applying pressure to people necessary to ensure that they work in turn makes them uncomfortable. The added pressure causes added suffering, and this suffering ultimately has drawbacks in each of the major systems.

Ignorance Slavery is a means of enslaving people by controlling their environment to such an extent that they have no understanding of freedom. These people are born into slavery, and the influence of the outside world is limited by the slaver to ensure that the slave does not question his existence, largely because he has nothing to compare it to.

Comparison has always been the crippling factor when trying to accustom a human to a system of slavery, because the human mind instinctively seeks change and betterment of the situation, regardless of how good their situation is. This instinct to improve one�s situation leads to disastrous consequences within systems of slavery, because even if your slaves live in paradise, they will always become upset at some point if they feel their lives are not improving.

By removing the ability of the slave to have knowledge of other parts of the world, other areas of the country, and instead knowing only their limited existence, they cannot be upset about their existence any more than natural instinct compels them to. By controlling this existence, you can control their experience and ensure they reliably feel the contenting feeling of improvement within their life.

This means 90% of the discontents in a place like America are no longer a problem, because the poor people don't know about the rich, the ugly people don't know about the pretty people, and any source of discontent is no longer a source of frustration because the human is ignorant to it.

To a human "The grass is always greener on the other side", but within Ignorance Slavery, there is no grass on the other side. Without knowing about "the other side", the person will not naturally make this comparison. Here, ignorance is bliss.

Ignorance Slavery also allows you to fashion the entire lifetime of the human to ensure that the remaining 10% of the sources of instinctive discontentment are controlled in such a way that the person generally feels good and happy about their environment, their work, and their life.

[Ignorance Slavery is something I talk about in my first book, The First Testament of the Altruist, which I wrote a while ago (2018), and these arguments were still being fleshed out at the time. I don't have citations, it's a long 900k word book, but the majority of Part 2 (mostly a long Socratic dialogue) talks about orchestrating society properly and with respect to fundamental aspects of human nature. Some of this bleeds into Part 3. The book isn't edited perfectly, but it is still readable.]

Quality of Life

Quality of life is a major problem in the West, because when the quality of life is 9/10, most people cannot feel happiness, because happiness is entirely subjective and based upon the relativity of one�s experience.

Happiness comes from the sense of improvement in one�s situation. If one is born with a 9/10 quality of life but cannot improve this, they will feel nothing but suffering as their quality-of-life decreases or discontent as it stagnates.

An African who was born into a 2/10 quality of life, but moves up to a 3/10 quality of life over 10 years of work, feels genuine happiness the entire time this is happening, because happiness comes from the sense of improvement within his life.

In the same right, an American born at 9/10 quality of life that stays at a 9/10 quality of life will feel no happiness or contentment provided by this, they will feel nothing besides restlessness and eventually discontent, because they feel nothing changes, and instinctively people always want change for the better.

If an American is born at 9/10 quality of life, and this quality is reduced to an 8/10, this American will feel furious, they will suffer constantly, because from their perspective, this is a change for the worse.

This is why America is constantly furious, sad, angry, depressed, indignant, and discontented; especially the middle-class youth, despite having a very high quality of life.

They are upset because they were born into a 9/10 quality of life, but most all of them have been unable to improve their situation, and many have reduced themselves to an 8/10 quality of life through poor decision making and a voluntary abstinence from agency.

(Picture of Quality of Life)

By controlling the quality of life of slaves within Ignorance Slavery, you can reduce overhead and make slaves happy at the time. Slaves are born and reared in a hard, 2/10 life, with no amenities, harsh conditions, but nothing to make them sick or die, and nothing which will inhibit them from growing and learning enough to provide whatever value the slaver needs them to produce.

As the slave grows, they will be given controlled amounts of improvement in response to their willingness to work hard and succeed at what they do. Very slowly, minimal amounts of benefit are provided as the person improves. This person feels happy the entire time, because the sense that their quality of life is improving, and this is because in reality it is improving.

The psychological effect of this happiness is now compelling this child to work. He knows that if he works hard, he will genuinely be happy, and this guaranteed happiness easily allows Ignorance Slavery the be the most beneficial and powerful form of slavery. Rather than relying upon carnal fears, the person is compelled to work by genuine happiness and improvement in their life which they are guaranteed to receive when they work.

The 2/10 cost of life is incredibly cheap, the whole "$1 a day saves a child's life" slogan is because that's how little it costs to live at this low quality of life. This is great for the economy, because lower upkeep on slaves means more free cash to invest in the expansion of business, expansion of the slave population, infrastructure, and the economy.

Even after 20-30 years of consistent improvements in quality of life, this person born at a 2/10 has reached maybe a 4/10 or 5/10 on quality of life, and this is still very cheap, maybe $16 a day total overhead at this point. Still much lower than the average of $165 dollars a day of purely personal expense of the average American, along with any cost of infrastructure which is paid for by the state.

(Source) https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/13/heres-how-much-the-average-person-spends-in-a-day.html

I provide the exponential scale to roughly estimate the cost of quality of life.

(picture)

This is because an extra $1 dollar a day makes a huge difference in a place like Africa, where at a 1/10 quality of life, this is basically giving him 50% of his daily wages, but $1 means nothing in America. This relativity in the value of $1 is not uncommon, as 40% of people on this planet live on less than $2 a day.

https://www.worldvision.org/sponsorship-news-stories/global-poverty-facts

According to this scale, the cost of a 9/10 life is $512 dollars a day in total overhead. All for what? That person is likely unable to attain the 10/10 life and is permanently unhappy due to the impossibility of improvement. This is a gross mismanagement of the slave population and the source of nearly all unhappiness in America.

The value of Ignorance Slavery is that it is ultimately Happiness Slavery. This is a system guaranteed to make people happy, and do this all while reducing overhead and ensuring the health and productivity out of all people.

You will probably believe this system of slavery is "terrible", but this is due largely to your own quality of life. You see this as reducing your quality of life from a 9/10 to a 2/10, but in reality, these people born into the 2/10 life are equally as happy as you are right now.

In Africa, the man living on $2 a day feels the same happiness that you feel when something good happens. Happiness is not a rational metric produced by money. If it were, people in America would all be 8200% happier than the Africans because they spend 8200% more on quality of life, which is ridiculous. Americans are generally upset, seldom happy, and they are often provoked into anger by the media.

World Happiness Report

I looked this up, thinking it was meaningful, but it�s not. Tragically, the "World Happiness Report" is inherently flawed because it uses a system of where people compare their lives to outside sources, which is not happiness but envy. I looked it up, thinking it would be meaningful, but it's legitimately the "World Envy Report", where poor people are asked how much they envy the quality of life in developed nations.

"Nationally representative samples of respondents are asked to think of a ladder, with the best possible life for them being a 10, and the worst possible life being a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale".

These people go around asking poor people �How much greener is that grass on the other side?�, then have the gall to call themselves a �Happiness report�.

For example, Iceland is in 3rd place on "World Happiness Report" but their suicide rate is equal to the average suicide rate in Africa. If these people were happy, they would not kill themselves at the same rate as allegedly unhappy people.

The "World Happiness Report" does nothing but say "Despite having the highest possible quality of life and seeing no ability to improve it, these people are still unhappy and kill themselves at the same frequency as people with low quality of life"

This does inadvertently prove my point that quality of life does not translate to happiness, and this is because we know that the subjective experience of a human is relative to their baseline expectations and whether their daily life improves or worsens when compared to this baseline. If it improves, they feel happiness, if it worsens, they feel negativity. (Source, CIA article, you can search on reddit I argued with some man on /r/conspiracy who thought the article meant �reality isn�t real, it�s all perspective�.)

Clearly Americans are very upset all the time, Africans are not 1% as happy as Americans, and I would wager that most Africans are far happier than Americans because they have the capacity to improve their life with hard work.

It is much more possible for an African to improve their quality of life, from a 1/10 to a 2/10, or from a 2/10 to a 3/10, than it is for an American to improve their life from a 8/10 to a 9/10, or from a 9/10 to a 10/10. This is because the cost of improving quality of life grows exponentially, so it costs much more money to produce a meaningful increase at 9/10 than it does at 2/10.

If you've ever watched a video of Africans just being normal people, they are happy people, they are not angry all the time because they are poor, and this is because they understand this life in Africa as their baseline.

By any logic that correlates quality of life with happiness, Africans with 20% the quality of life of Americans would be 500% more angry than Americans about their quality of life, this is clearly not the case, because Americans are always furious about their quality of life, and if Africans were 500% more angry than Americans, Africa would have burned to the ground long ago.

The Africans are indifferent to being poor because this is what they are used to, in the same right that affluent middle-class children are indifferent to being affluent because this is what they're used to.

Both of these situations produce the same amount of happiness in the person, which is generally a feeling of neutrality, because in both of these positions, the person exists at their expected baseline, and a perceived change for the worse produces negativity (for example spoiled children are quick to anger), and any change for the better produces happiness.

Post-Word

I know this is a long article and it is probably sort of boring for most people and difficult to read, but I felt compelled to write something meaningful because I felt guilty writing so much gay smut lately. People generally are far more appreciative of my gay smut, and it�s sort of frustrating that nobody wants to read my more so academic articles.

I like writing gay smut, but I also write meaningful things too. I write these things because they have valuable information which people can potentially apply if they listen to reason. I�m trying to help the human race, but nobody wants help, they just want gay smut.

I hate to use the word �academic� because I hate academics. For every 1 reasonable, literate, academic person on the internet there�s 9 douchebags trying to inflate their ego pretending to be smart, ultimately producing a circle-jerk of meaningless shit talk from illiterate and pretentious schlomos. I have no interest in respecting the pathetic, sterile circle-jerk that is state-approved academia and the shameless fanboys shilling the trash, so I�m at a loss for how to distribute these articles I write.

If I�m going to entertain myself with guys playing with each other�s cocks, it�s going to be hot, slutty, gay boys that love cock, not losers on the internet desperate for attention and any sort of gratification they can get from other losers. Sorry internet losers, that�s just gross and unappealing, I don�t want to stroke the fragile tiny ego you keep in your pants. Try being hotter and sluttier.
