Thread:User talk:Tyrannis/Veil of opulence/reply (15)

Speaking of opulence and veils, TRO is a prime example. Things are getting better -- we've eliminated slavery...right? Whoops. But don't worry, as Steven Pinker reminds us, the absolute number of slaves may have increased, but the proportion of people in slavery has decreased! Isn't that wonderful? Rich white dude -- nice work if you can get it!
