saw the breakdown of the rule of law and a lack of reliable energy sources to achieve certain labor tasks, I think he would see slavery come back pretty quickly. I mean, in Libya, which is a real world example, I'd imagine it would probably start with sexual slavery.

This is a plot point in Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which is, yes, it's fiction, but I think he really nailed just how close we are to everyone having to worry about being a slave.

Old habits die hard. There's a lack of rule of law in many parts of the world. And I just don't think that the Western liberal view of human rights and human dignity as universal equality, as people think that it is, I don't accept it. This is the default view that everybody on earth has.

Like this is a very specific cultural view that all human beings are endowed with some kind of dignity and rights. This is a very specific cultural view that I just don't think most of the world share. Read about the Yugoslav Wars. Sexual slavery in particular was a widespread phenomenon. That's a really good example of what happens when a normal functioning country just completely falls apart.

I was obsessed with this as a kid, which I think I've mentioned on other episodes that we've done. I'm slightly obsessed with it now still. I think that the real question is, why don't we have more slaves? And the short answer is oil.

I do have a grim view of humanity. This is what helps me to explain why 40 to 50 million people are slaves. About a quarter of them are children. Oh, why? Why? To the screams to the heavens. Because you live in an imperfect world. The world tend towards chaos. Your shoes aren't going to tie themselves. You need to work to create order out of chaos.
