On: There are now more slaves in the world than at any point in history

[dangrover]

Has this rise been proportionate with population growth?

[bkbleikamp → dangrover]

Would that make you feel better about all the slaves?

[sah → bkbleikamp]

If the number of slaves is growing more slowly than the population, slavery is on the decline as a cultural institution, even if the absolute number of slaves is increasing. I would feel good about that.

[alexandros → bkbleikamp]

Of course not. But the title might be slightly misleading and not tolerating inaccuracy is best for everyone concerned in the long run.
