You know, as much as I agree with Aristotle after everything I've learned, to this day I cannot but help to treat everyone as my equals, even those that I despise. I can't imagine living in a world where hierarchy is so pronounced and also completely incommensurate with the reality of the world. I guess watching my fat autistic father treat his servants the way he did and expecting me to be the same was what finally made that tendency crystallize. Have you ever had servants, OP? I doubt it. If you did you would recognize how tragic it is not to be able to live among people, especially your lessers, without that ugly dynamic of domination and humiliation. It just ruins the mood, you can never truly relax.

everyone's a slave when they're young and again when they're old

Do you think there would there be still be something morally wrong re: servants who enjoy their role and are treated well with no such ugly dynamic?

i strong suspect that the word translated as 'weaker' actually says 'worse'.
and that would be correct. there are many people who are unsuited for civilised life. plenty of examples here on this shithole board.

calling the lessers seems to suggest you already have that dynamic in your head anon, you just find violence distasteful.

Haven't read the book, does he provide any kind of authority for these claims, or is it just self-justification by someone already on top? Because I'm not seeing any actual argument in that pic. Saying X is true because "it's obvious" is meaningless.
