Is slavery necessarily a bad thing?

Anonymous

This is a question that many powerful men must ask themselves. Perhaps your instant response would be that of the common man: "Slavery is bad. It robs someone of their free will."

What, with our modern laws and woke mentalities, of course that's the acceptable response, according to the Federal government, who has their own motivations. But, as someone of enormous power myself, I've seen firsthand how ordinary minds can become enriched by extraordinary influence.

Think of this situation: what if aliens landed on the planet and enslaved humans to build their homes, their UFO charging devices, their landing pads and cook their food. As a byproduct of that, we obtain telepathic powers and a deeper understanding of the universe. Or, imagine that we were a race of devil-worshipping voodoo practitioners who, from our masters, obtained an understanding of God. Shouldn't we then be grateful to our masters?
