Slavery

Con begins stating that there are other solutions to helping people excel at what they do than slavery. I never denied this at all. Instead, I explained that slavery is the only situation whereby everyone is forced to do one thing over and over until they perfect it and not even consider doing anything but that one thing. The slave owner will only become good at owning slaves and driving them to work, the slaves good at cleaning will only be skilled at that so on and so forth. Slaves can be owned form birth so it maximises the time they excel at only that one thing to the greatest imaginable efficiency of one's lifespan. Under a system such as free market economics, everyone only generally begins to try and excel at once thing form 18+ and even then they tend to drift between dream jobs until they buckle down to one career at around 25-27 (generalizing here but you get the picture). In slavery, everyone is already an expert at their division of labor by around the age of 12. That's over half the lifespan and you already have produced and expert at what they do.Another thing to not here is that people learn fastest while young [1]. My source explains that the age when most people actually begin their careers in a non-slavery system (22-25) is the age where one's ability to intake information and learn new concept actually begins declining. This is why everyone is always most fluent in their mother tongue no matter how many languages they learn to speak. It's true that you can become better at a foreign language than your own and even begin dreaming in the new language after a long time using it but your mother tongue is always the one you can re-remember the fastest once forgotten. It's also true that anyone who speaks to you in mother tongue language will always be able to emotionally affect you more than someone speaking in another[2].Another thing is that 'natural talent' is a genuine myth and should be ignored for a variety of reasons[3][4]. While a person who has had a certain childhood and upbringing cannot change what their innate talents are, if you can force someone at this age to master one skill, they will become unbelievably good at that skill. Take anyone, be it Einstein or Mozart and observe their childhood and you'll slowly realize they were not geniuses but rather were simple human beings who had a very specialized upbringing geared towards one line of work. They 'self motivation' merely came form realizing how badly they sucked at everything else and so of course they were not all-rounders if the only thing they'd learned to excel at was that one skill they learned to call their 'innate' talent. Slavery helps people who otherwise would be lost or without ingenuity and talent to become geniuses at what they do whether they like it or not and will make the human species overall as excellent as it could possibly be, relative to any and all other political and social systems.I have no idea why Con attacks social Darwinism and the link between it and slavery when I never once advocated this. Social Darwinism is not what slavery is based on, rather natural selection is so inefficient a system to base politics and society on that any and all Libertarian and/or Free market economies have either totally collapsed (take, Mexico most of Africa and south Asia), or have excelled at the extreme expense of the impoverished (take India or South Africa). On the other hand, and not without coincidence, nations that go against social Darwinism and instead enforce a system whereby everyone is sacrificing for others to a degree are the nations that pretty much run the world economically and socially at this moment in time. I wouldn't be so bold as to call that a lucky coincidence.While north Korea arguably is doing bad but engages in slavery, what North Korea does wrong is to try and trick its people into a sense of community and harmony. Instead of making people worship the leader like a god and to arrest anyone who dares question this authority and abuse of it, an efficient state based on slavery would openly explain to everyone that they were a slave (even the owners) to the nation itself and that there was no true leader other than the need to excel at whatever socialized skill you were forced to do form birth and that is all you should aim to excel at.Con attacks me stating that slavery is good for the slaves, I counter him to explain why on earth it wouldn't be. If you are force dot have to decide your own destiny and hand out a hundred CV's and do about 51 interviews before you even can begin to excel at something in this world, you begin pretty late in lie and will probably have about 5-7 career changes, varying form minor to major, in your life. Whether they be direct promotions or department transfers, they hold you back in your ability to be great at that one role and one ability/skill. If you become so effortlessly talented at that one thing that you can practically do it with your eyes closed and one hand behind your back, I'd say your life will be pretty damn enjoyable. It also avoids anyone teasing you for your at work and also removes the stress of you having to worry if you'll have that job tomorrow or even have to search for what you want to do in life. In fact it pretty much eliminates any anxiety or 'lost purpose' feelings one could have which are major factors that lead to suicide[5].Slavery doesn't stunt evolution at all. The smartest humans will inevitably be good at what they do and attract the fellow slaves who admire skilled workers. Some people are not into skilled/serious people and prefer fun, relaxed people. Less efficient slaves would still have allocated time to have fun and enjoy life and socialize of course. After all, it's not actually fun for the slave owners to always have to keep the slaves in line, sometimes being in charge is a nightmare.[1] http://education.jhu.edu...
