A truth I was surprised to discover:

Most people want slavery. They just want to be comfortable. And the moment a little bit of freedom causes discomfort, they rush back to their cage.

Then to delude themselves because they can’t accept that reality, they label all things uncomfortable as “slavery” and all things comfortable as “freedom.” Convincing themselves that because their cage is “nice and safe,” this means they are actually free.

Why Huxley was right in one post.

Freedom is a ceaseless fight. Most people get exhausted and give up in front of any significant obstacle. They expect life to be Netflix & Chill + Grubhub + Uber + Elevators. Low tolerance of hardship has too many minds doomed, sadly.

Slavery is self imposed for those who fear the burden of freedom.

100! Be a wolf or a dog. Many choose dog. Free food and all.

This describes the phenomenon of the self acclaimed Libertarian Socialists. They basically redefine the words.

You have no idea how right you are. I discovered this a long time ago too. People want someone to control them. They want to follow others. Very few are those who don’t. That’s the reason for fashion and everything people do. Most of them can’t and don’t want to take responsibility. Few are ...

When you say 'most people want slavery' I see a strong ambiguity wherein you may be implying both, but I'd like to touch on it. Do you mean people want to be slaves or they want the institution (albeit invisible) whereby they benefit from outsourced slave labor? Perhaps a mix of both to assist in th...

Interesting to contemplate. Is freedom freedom from uncertainty? Then is is never attainable. Is freedom freedom from the fear of the unknown? Then how does one attain that? When everything is changing, and rushing ever faster into the unknown, uncertainty and the impossibility of knowing which ...

I think people want symbiosis. They don't want to worry about their food, housing, electricity, basic needs, etc. But they DO want to contribute in a meaningful way. They want to benefit from a system that supports their livelihood, but not at the sacrifice of their freedoms.

I’d say it’s not that most people actually want slavery, and more that most people are willing to accept slavery because they primarily want to be comfortable. What do you think about this framing?
