Yeah, I appreciate you saying this. I think we often overlook how our behaviors towards most animals seems similar to slavery. I think some people back in the day thought, "Oh, we treat animals like this, why not treat humans like this?" And I wonder what if we were to go the other way, "We don't treat humans like that, perhaps we should stop treating animals like that?"
And that doesn't even get to the level of indifference we have towards plants.
I don't really know "the answer," just reflecting on how we domesticate other beings and what might happen if some being or thing (e.g., AI) decided to domesticate (or enslave) us.
