      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Ed Latimore

      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 …

      Slavery only becomes appalling when more efficient technological alternatives exist. This tweet and the freedom of the tweeter is brought to you in part by the industrial revolution and the cotton gin. https://twitter.com/formerlyed/status/1198694154647285760 …

      2/ If technology disappeared in a @JohnBarnesSF Directive 51 scenario, or a Dies the Fires scenario, etc., we'd have slavery - under some name - back in < 5 years. It's important to realize that technology changes, but human nature doesn't.

      4/ this is close to correct, but I disagree feminism didn't arise "bc the market needed more labor" (markets don't need X amount; there are supply and demand curves) feminism arose bc we tech made us rich enough that we didn't NEED women at homehttps://twitter.com/cryptojeezus/status/1199080484971667457 …

      Same with feminism. Feminism only arised with globalism requiring more labour because of increased competition

      5/ also "increased competition", if anything, shifts production to the most efficient producer. C.f. Ricardo's Law of Comparative advantage ; trade makes us richer and thus LOWERS demand for labor required to produce at the same level

      Disagree here. Again, I think this is fruit of the Pill. It allowed women to more reliably control their fertility. Delaying childbirth allowed them to climb the ladder more easily.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Mitchell

      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 …

      Feminism happened as a tool of control. Women are very tuned to peer pressure. The thinking goes, to weaponize pathology that you invent overnight, you get industry onboard and you move the lumpen.

      And manumission predates the steam engine. Pay attention to the overall thesis.
