@popmol matrix? You're the first person I know who hasn't seen it.
Don't know if I have seen paradise.

@SW-User well i mean isn't the matrix a fake world thats made? if that world is perfect and i'd be happy why would i fight against it.
SW-User
@popmol yeah. There are arguments for and against it. But sure, if one is comfortable one may not have any reason to rock the boat.

@SW-User indeed!

@popmol @SW-User

if that world is perfect and i'd be happy why would i fight against it.

So the question here is: If a slave does not know he's a slave, is he still a slave, and is it still ethical to keep him enslaved?
SW-User
@calicuz very good question.
Who would it be ethical or unethical for though if it was mass slavery?
calicuz · 56-60, M
@SW-User

Exactly. So my personal opinion is that it is unethical to enslave anyone, even if they were born into slavery and don't know they are a slave.
SW-User
@calicuz that it is. But what if the slave is unwilling to be unslaved?
Where would the ethic lie in this case?

Free him and teach him to live free. Knowledge truly is power.

@calicuz thank you
