100% agree people are as moral as technology makes it easy to be People have slavery without qualms for tens of thousands of years and then "somehow" had a moral epiphany ... right around the time steam engines became useful. Curious coincidence !https://twitter.com/EdLatimore/status/1198966424032743425 …

7/ my theory is that technology drives social change, which explains why slavery ended after steam engines and feminism started after the Pill. Your theory is ... people did it because they wanted to control people. Which ... applied in 100 BC, yes?https://twitter.com/brabakr/status/1199082025057021952 …

8/ Efficient for whom? Slavery is efficient for slaveholders ; if it wasn't, they wouldn't do it. Also, it's not "confusing" morality and economics, it's making a point re connection between professed morals and economics. I thought that was obvious.https://twitter.com/onefiftyfivemm/status/1199109461140328449?s=19 …
