| Feb 10, 2022 at 21:04 | comment | added | Clockwork-Muse | For those wondering about "paying" slaves; For a good chunk of history slavery didn't necessarily connote "everything you own is your master's", but rather was a reflection of control or social status. A number of slaves in the ancient middle east became wealthy or even held high positions in government. There is also the concept of indentured servitude, where you were paid some sort of wage (or were expected to earn one independently, at minimum). | |

| Feb 10, 2022 at 14:10 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | Why would the brain attempt to enslave anyone? It can avoid all the backlash of committing human rights abuses by simply employing people. This doesn't seem terribly different from any other employment relationship - people will be paid the market rate for their skills, or work elsewhere. The guy who cleans the brain vat will be paid differently than the brain's head of security or chief of staff. | |

| Feb 10, 2022 at 4:19 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | Welcome to worldbuilding. As it stands now this problem is underspecified and very opinion based. How much would you pay for a bottle of water or for a breathe of air? The answer depends on where you are, as everybody who has tried to buy a bottle of water at a concert or anybody who does deepdiving can tell you. | |
