I unfortunately did not see your comment until now and it seems this forum does not lend itself to actual in depth discussions of any substance, with a clear intent of attracting and harvesting technical skills and knowledge from gullible tech people; but I think you misunderstood something. I am not referring to "corporate slaves" as being the well paid equivalent of the nobility or and even lower aristocracy of the past, or their equivalent in different times. I am referring to the fact that the "kings and emperors" of today developed a new model for "slavery", or, to generalize, exploitation of some by others to support their excessive and parasitic life. You are misunderstanding the relational nature of the system. What it comes down to is that the ruling psychopaths realized they could become extremely wealthy by simply shifting the "slavery" aspect to a kind of nickel and diming of everyone under a threshold that breaks their willingness to freely engage, rather than forcing unproductive and unwilling slaves that you also have to take care of. It is actually what is referred to when "economists" stalk about taxation stifling production or willingness to be productive … what they really mean or should be saying is that it is the rate at which you deprive the slave of their willingness to work, relative to coercive force required to overcome that innate will. There are dependencies; profit, free will, force … largely two will go up as one goes down, but not at the same rate, even though the ruling psychopaths keep trying to manipulate things, thinking they can have all of it … until things invariably break and snap.
