Slavery extracts labor from the victim. Which is arguably more valuable than the meat.

I suppose slavery is an abstract form of being eaten. It certainly "uses every part of the animal" better than just chomping it up.

Interesting. How effective is it compared to, say, a massage, hot-tub or vicodin?

Well yes, that centralization of power is implied by the term. But who it benefits is not.

I'm drawing a distinction between a human and a system of laws.

An important difference is that a system of laws is dumb, blind, gameable and breakable. A human, much less so.

That depends on the dictator of course.

I'll keep my own council, thanks anyway.

What's your meditation technique?

I don't see the connection.

When I meditate I sometimes perceive strange stuff. That's the encountering.

I have encountered what might be called "spirits" and a "creator". So that's relevant.

Think of it as a telescope or a microscope. It delivers a new way of seeing. Among other things.
